Considering the length of up times I'm not convenced that I need a
journalling fs.  I haven't done any extensive research but what I have
read does not make a compelling case to run journalling for any
performance reasons.  If the primary gain is in length of the boot cycle
I just don't see the need, not any more that is.

I would have to agree with a policy against using a filesystem like this on
a production unit until it has been proven.

The question is when to consider it a proven.
