EXT4 has been stable since mid-october 2008. It's no longer
experimental despite what you think.
Why is it better to not use EXT4 on /boot? Because there's no stable
version of grub (yet) which supports booting from an EXT4 partition.
Last time I checked, this was coming in GRUB2.
9.04 has a patched version of GRUB which should help with booting from
EXT4. Bug 314350 dicusses this.
