I'm currently running a machine which is pure resierfs. I have no /boot
partition. I have had no problems with it whatsoever either. It boots
with no problems, speed has increased.
I have not tried compiling a kernel other then the stock mdk7.2 kernel
yet. But I'm hopeful that if I patch it during compile with the resiserfs
patch it should work out fine as well.

There's plenty of semicolons to go around
