debian-kernel on CC, here's the base URL:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2006/08/msg00408.html
If there are discussion, I suggest we remove debian-boot from CC!
I thus set reply-to to d-k.

Here's Theo:
This is correct, and Chris Mason has recently submitted patches to
change the default. (For both ext3 and reiserfs)
The reason why it was disabled at first was because it was new
code, and concerns about whether drives would implement it
properly, and whether there were any problems with the code.
Probably too much time passed between when the code was introduced
and when it was enabled by default, but most filesystem developers
are a conservative bunch, and while they might be willing to
enable features when it is their own data at risk, they are less
willing to enable it by default and inflict said changes on users
without being 100% sure that it is bugfree(tm).
The patches were submitted about a week ago on LKML; it probably
would be appropriate to include them in the next spin of the
Debian kernel image.
Thus, please include the patch...
