Thanks Chris for your understanding, we are really open here for new developments (otherwise we would not use a linux server for production...).
If you have approved your patches, I will surely give them a try since up to know I did not experience any problems with my self-compiled 2.4.18 kernel on top of SuSE-7.3 on my desktop machine, so I think I could risk to run a 2.4.18 plus eventually approved reiser patches on your server. Since I'm a software developer, I also know that it's invaluable for the developers to reproduce a problem and track it down on their own.
