My SOHO server uses an ext4 /home partition in the last 5 months (since
Fedora-10 bundled it) without a hitch.

Also, ext4 is the default partition type for Fedora-11 due in
about a fortnight -- 9/6/2009, another week delay :-(

The only "turbolent" area lately was really X (because of the changes
required for KMS). It was harder for KDE users (me included) because
KDE (especially Plasma) uses a lot of high end features of the drivers.

Waiting for stabilization isn't a bad idea, but the main problems are
over. At least from my POV (as a Fedora user), a fully updated F10
works reasonably well on all my computers (home + work) and F11
would be an improvement (X.org-1.6, KDE-4.3, etc.)

Bye,
