I think it rather says that everyone has a story. Someone was
complaining about anecdotes, but that's what we've got.

Richard mentioned fixing the snapshots bug in fossil. This
is about as close as we've come to examining the technical
issues.

It's mostly been story/counter-story about how we all have
lost files on each of these filesystems. The important takeaway
here is that we have reports of people losing data on every single
one of them.

I had problems with fossil. Like you, I never had problems with
(cw)fs. Charles had problems with fs. I don't think we've refuted
any claims about relative stability or even established a scale
to measure with.
