This would definitely be an option if someone were to write a library to
abstract over transactional filesystems. Reiser4 also has transactions.
But it doesn't seem worth putting much effort into transactions when such a
small minority of users will be affected. Although, if someone wanted to
create such a module, it would definitely be appreciated... although we'd
want to be sure not to use it as a bandaid over bugs.
