If you look into journaling filesystem technology, then you will realize
that there are many architectural and performance tradeoffs associated with
any implementation of journaling filesystems. In effect, there is no one
journaling filesystem that can serve the needs of all applications.
I believe it is the intent of the kernel developers to develop an abstracted
journaling filesystem interface, which will permit numerous implementations
to coexist and be selected in each instance for whatever advantage the
developers feel is realizable WRT their application specifics.
This is the big picture.
