What sort of things? (If you care to say, of course.) I've been using
FFS_EI semi-routinely (as in, I build ~all my kernels with it, and,
while I don't want it all the time, when I do I haven't hesitated) and
have never seen any issues I can ascribe to it.
I haven't been trying to stress it, though. Also, depending on what
vintage you're talking about, it may have got broken - or broken worse
- in between the versions I use and the versions you looked at.
