Yes, and discard works perfectly fine on e.g. the OCZ Vertex SSDs or
storage arrays.  It's just not fast enough for the trim on transaction
commit style support that was rushed into various filesystems.  It works
perfectly fine with Mark Lord's wiper.sh script, or with an updated
version of my XFS btree walking periodic discard.

I think it should be off by default for everyone, and I'm trying to make
