Also point out the reliability factor here which is a bit harder to point
to a magic number and "See, we *are* better!" ext2 runs async by default
which can lead to nasty filesystem corruption in the event of a power
loss. With softupdates, the filesystem metadata will always be in sync and
uncorrupted (barring media failure of course).
