I browsed that URL, can understand their point about ReactOS being too unstable to support. Jesse Smith of Distrowatch (distrowatch.com) tried ReactOS and found it unstable. I still haven't tried to build or install ReactOS due to inability of finding a place to put it: likely to crash on boot from USB, no support for GPT means I can't put it on hard drive. Only thing I can think of is to buy a cheap old SATA hard drive, partition it MBR, put it in a Sabrent enclosure using eSATA rather than USB 2.0. Then ReactOS could go on one partition, FreeDOS on another, and possibly grub 0.97, grub4dos or GRUB 2 could fool the second-partition OS into thinking it was the first partition. I could format the two partitions for FAT32 with newfs_msdos on NetBSD or FreeBSD, or mkdosfs on Linux, and the rest of the disk, third partition, could be formatted ext2fs. Or maybe that would be the fourth partition, with third partition being FAT32 for extra work/compiling space for FreeDOS and ReactOS? I think I read that ReactOS can now read and write from and to ext2fs?
