I agree, I don't want a FS flamewar. I admit my "wouldn't touch it" is based more on personal experience than any hard data or anything logical. I don't remember the version number. It was 3 and a half years ago easily. Just after Reiser made it into the kernel. The HD was in, still is, in perfect working order.
