The code just won't get tested if it isn't turned on.  I think I've got
all the major issues fixed, and I'm sending to -mm to try and prove
that.  When we're all happy with the stability of the patches, they can
go to -linus.

But there are just as many threads about reiserfs not having
data=ordered support.  It's an important feature that has been out of
mainline for far too long.
