As is said in the article. It didn't get much (public) testing yet so it's not proven stable yet.

It _is_ fundamentally different from just including a driver. People could use this and lose their files. That is not acceptable in a stable kernel.

Just patch the kernel and test (with non-critical files). If it proves stable over time it will get included anyway. Especially if some distros include it first.

Why? NTFS write support had been in stable kernel for a long time and marked as DANGEROUS.
