I disagree, performance is the primary, though not the only, measure of
journaling
code.
Alan wants us to wait for a committee that will sit around and build a giraffe.
I want him to stop
using FUD about format changes, and to go build his giraffe, and when it runs
faster than our horse
he can tell us about it then.
Meanwhile I am going to go build us a locomotive, and see if it is faster than
our horse.....
