More to the point, the only reason to use ext4 is performance, and if you're now going to have to sync every time you write anything to disk, your performance is going to be worse than a reliable filesystem like ext3. So what's the point?
I've been running ext4 on my netbook because it's now the default for Ubuntu, and so far I'm amazed that nothing bad has happened after the times I've had to do a hard power down due to NFS lockups. I'm still wondering what may have been silently corrupted without my knowledge.
