Precisely the point. However, data+metadata journaling may be kind of pointless if you don't have any way of telling how much of the data you had meant to have written was, in fact, written. For example, if you have an outage while compiling a kernel, no amount of journaling can make it safe to skip "make clean" before running "make" again. That makes the cheapest, fastest journaling regime also best, for such an environment.
