Comment # 38 on bug 1093372 from Petr Mladek

I do not know. Maybe I am just an old fashioned nerd. But I see the operating
system and applications just as tools to do some real work. My data are
magnitude more important for me than the system and its configuration. The
system can be reinstalled and configured within hours or days. But the data
might be result of years-work work.

Then I see a big difference if my own data are stored on another filesystem
that is separated from the system and might be preserved easily.

You might argue that I should archive the data if they are so important for me.
Or that the update works most of the time, the file system does get corrupted
only rarely.

But I still think that the new default behavior is not user-friendly. I do not
agree with the reasoning (bug reported because of OpenQA machines, new setting
is ok for servers and clouds).

Is openSUSE really used primary for servers, clouds, and openQA?
