My preference is to revert the default back to ordered mode or (if Chris
is ready) back to guarded mode.
My plan was to get guarded into .30, but that clearly didn't happen.
So, I'll resend this week and try to have it ready for .31, unless
people would rather avoid the changes to the tried and true ext3.

I have been thinking that guarded mode might make for a full replacement
for writeback mode over time - the more I think about writeback mode,
the less I like letting casual users hurt themselves with it.
I would be very happy to see guarded mode get resent :-)
Any idea how many distros actually ship today with writeback mode as
their default?
