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.
