Aside from support for FIFOs and other special files and a few other nits, it seems to behave pretty well. On the other hand, there are still a number of underlying problems that I don't have time to address. I suggest that you try it out and determine whether it works well enough for your purposes. Check the bug database before reporting any problems, though. (Note also that several of the relevant bugs have been prematurely closed recently.)
