If you read the comments on tytso's blog you'll see that current position is: "POSIX is right while applications are broken yet we'll save them anyway". Even if "proper way" is fix thousands of applications its just not realistic - so ext4 (starting from 2.6.30) will try to save these broken applications by default. And if you want performance - there are a switch. Good enough for me. Can we close the discussion?

Exactly. Ted is a practical man, so he already put a workaround in place, until applications are fixed.
