Yeah, the actual regression had been resolved (by changing the
default), but the root cause was due to the fact that not enough
people had done proper power-fail testing for the journal_checksum,
even though the code had been in the kernel for a very long time.  The
discussion afterwards was focused around fixing those problems so we
could make journal_checksum be the default at some point in the future.
