"stable" refers to the use of the 2.4 kernel rather than
the development kernel.  in fact, it is more stable than
the same code living in the 2.5/6 kernels because it has
been more thoroughly tested.

the NFSv4 on Linux 2.4 implementation is beta quality and
is not intended for production environments, only for
testing.  Linux NFSv4 itself doesn't support delegation,
file migration, NFSv4 state recovery, or locking.  all
these are yet to be implementated in 2.6 kernels, but we
expect them in the coming months.

note that there are no feature-complete NFSv4 implementations
available from any vendor for production use at the moment.
