I just looked at it myself.  I did a 'make xconfig', disabled
"Experiemental", looked at "Filesystems", and lo and behold, there was
much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

I usually enable experimental and then *don't* select things labeled
"Experimental" unless I have some good reason to do so.

I wouldn't consider it experimental either, having used it for some months
now.  Possibly, Linux just isn't 100% confident yet (but see
http://www.reiserfs.org/testm.html), or the kernel developers (since I
imagine they always answer "y" to "Experimental?") just haven't noticed
yet.
