My own selfish reason: I can't test 2.3.x kernels on my fileserver because I initially installed w/ a RedHat+RAID kernel (RH6.0 stock), and now can't do without my RAID mirror. :)
A change went into 2.3.17 marking knfsd non-experimental. Comment from fs/Config.in: "considering that RedHat-6.0 ships with this on, I guess it's not really experimental"
Hopefully the same logic can be applied to the RAID patches. :) I stress my RAID1 mirror a ton but it hasn't broken yet.
