Reiserfs lately had a lot of stability issues, reports of data corruption
and as you said before you don't considere the reiserfs version in 2.4.2-ac
stable yourself.
The averange user will not blame you if he loses data through a problem
in reiserfs but the distribtuion, even if this filesystem is clearly
marked unsupported.

I do not see the debug kernel removed from the official kernel tree
before reiserfs has proven known stable.
Of course there is still the option of CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=n if you
intentionally want to make your filesystem less acceptable..
