Good to hear. I've so far stayed with data=ordered as I think I'd prefer 
data=guarded over data=writeback. I'll certainly give it a try when it's 
available.

Same here. data=writeback already cost me a few files after crashes here :/

What sort of files were you losing?  I don't know if we can improve
the implied flush hueristics, but we should at least try to see if we
do something about it.

IIRC... the flush heuristics invoke async flush, so you can still lose
data if you are unlucky, no?
