What evidence do you have that there would be data
loss? ext2 and ext3 were
used almost immediately after their release as well.
The distro maintainers
usually do some basic reliability tests or at least
have access to such
tests. So I would be happy to read any tests you've
seen that suggest ext4
is unreliable. To start scaring people with talk of
data loss based on
random speculation would not be good.

It's not random specualtion:

Reading the first couple of items shown in your above link it does appear to have been fixed in both Jaunty and Karmic. Your comment may not be random speculation but it does appear to be outdated. I'm using Karmic Beta 64 bit and have not experienced any data loss, thanks for that.
