Practically speaking, the fact that commercial Linux vendors are distancing themselves from ReiserFS is a practical point.
Red Hat never supported ReiserFS, and Novell which used to support it, has de-supported it. There are several other choices for the enterprise: XFS, ZFS (which currently works under FUSE), JFS, and of course ext3. If you're running a database you can use OCFS or forget about the filesystem and use ASM. About XFS.. I am not sure how large the community involvement is. Let's not forget that SGI is in deep doodoo as well. I'd go with ext3, JFS, or ZFS.
