It has certain advantages for some applications.  I'm quite happy with 
the stability; I've had a ccd running since before the "new" ccd was 
integrated in August (I helped to test it out), and I've had no problems 
with it at all.  That's not to say there weren't bugs, but none of them 
have bitten me, or at least not hard enough to even make note of.

It's being used as a news spool, and lends itself to that nicely.  I'm 
certain that I would make sure to do regular backups if it were anything 
else, however, since if one disk goes, the whole filesystem is hosed. :-)
