npub102p63kjdkfap6xf8mpxlz5lgtpc3fknujqcqq09uwdmzt8v5fe7qjflhhh (npub102p…lhhh) How does that change things for the programmer? If a programmer wants to use this and not have data corruption for many or most users, they have to check that the user is running ext4 with `auto_da_alloc`, at which point they can write code that ext4 will automatically fix up.
But they still have to write the correct code in the else case. It would be simpler to just write the correct code.
The rare exception are people who are writing in a known environment that will never change.
