I would also not use XFS in production ... but that is just me. If XFS was production ready, it would be in RHEL. Since it is turned on in Fedora and since it is purposely turned off in RHEL, one can reasonably conclude that the upstream people DO NOT THINK it is stable enough to use in production on RHEL. This is JUST my opinion :D

IIRC, RH's stated reason (stated on the mailing lists in the midst of folks clamoring for XFS' inclusion) for not having XFS turned on in RHEL is *not* that it's not production ready. It's that they only have the resources (read: folks with knowledge in-depth enough to satisfy enterprise customers) to support 1 FS, and that's ext3.
