In article <KETIL-87hfyhsswa.fsf@tosca.infotek.no> you write:
>Simple question: Would the stable version 2.2 be released with a
>(hypothetically) bug-ridden, disk-corrupting QNXfs driver?

I guess yes, indeed, as long as it is labeled as "experimental".
"Stable" means that it should not crash, neither corrupt anything, as
long as you use the non-experimental features. The 2.0.x have experimental
features (that are clearly flagged as such).
