So the assertion is that users with (critical) data loss bugs need complete solutions for recovery and damage containment with all possible speed, and without this "last mile" effort, stability will never be achieved.

The objection is the tiniest bug-fix windows get everything but the kitchen sink.

These are both uncomfortable positions to occupy, without doubt.

Who’s using an experimental filesystem and risking critical data loss? Rule one of experimental file systems is have a copy on a not experimental file system.

The biggest dirty secret of the IT world is that everyone knows you should have more backups than God, but everyone runs with an average of about zero.
