I knew something was funny with Mongo when all the api calls defaulted to writes not being guaranteed to sync to disk. Maybe for a use case like aggregate statistics gathering it would be ok to risk missing a few updates in a crash for the sake of speed, but to make that the default??

You know this configuration change was changed in November 2012. Do you think it's still relevant to be bringing this up ?

  Actually, the defaults are still unsafe, just the marketing language has changed. Take the Node.js driver for example, it defaults to w=null and j=false. http://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/2.0/api/Db.html http://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/2.0/api/Db.html
