It's had really limited testing, and the kernel interface has had
some problems in the past (though I guess that's irrelevant to
shipping the userspace)
I guess it's a little of a chicken-and-egg problem; no binary, no
testing; no testing, I hesitate to unleash the binary, which has
serious data integrity implications.
I think it's going to need some concentrated development & testing
love to get to full readiness.
