Well its as mature as the can be as this point. The patch has followed along with David's cachefs patches since 2.6.10 (I believe) and I've take a number of percussions and did quite bit of testing to ensure there are not any regressions when the -o fsc mount is not used.

We've be mostly working on stability and data integrity, in our copious spare time of course ;-) . And to be quite honest there are still some stability issue to iron out... But we both felt, at this point, the best thing to do is get more eyeballs on the code so we can ensure it moves in the right direction....
