I understand this, but you also have to realize that many people don't understand the fragile china approach (and with justification - how *would* one generally know?) and it's a real setback to have your UFS filesystems blown away too. :-) I'd welcome some compromise solutions, otherwise I think it's simply too dangerous to advertise, explicitly or implicitly, as a feature.
