"is it basically impossible to salvage all the stability work from the Linux kernel?" If you'll search through ReactOS codebase, you'll definitely encounter Linux pieces of code, thus it's safe to assume ReactOS doesn't suffer from NIH syndrome and that it salvages whatever it can from any given legit available source. Other than that, ReactOS has its own NT reference (which covers stability too) that it has to follow and that isn't any of the easy-available *nix architectures, so there's that.
