Is a single failed readdir under truly exceptional (and so far only theoretical) conditions "breakage"? If so, every distributed file system ever - including NFS - is broken in a hundred ways. The severe and persistent errors that people have actually seen on ext4 matter. If we say that we won't make even the smallest compromise on XFS behavior to fix them, we might as well come right out and say that ext4 users can go rot. I'm not willing to say that. I'd rather fix users' problems, in-tree if I can but out-of-tree if I have to. I've said my piece. Others can decide.
