Is it essential that the smaller systems (ie. palm tops, perhaps even the "home" user) utilize a journalling filesystem? Sure, they could take advantage of the benefits, but is the additional use of resources worth it? Although it'd add to the confusion, perhaps having two filesystem choices wouldn't be an overly bad idea?
