Personally I think that in the case of a CoW filesystem, bugs which cause corruption should be very uncommon because of the very nature of the CoW mechanism, especially if coupled together with data checksums as publicized in the case of BT

Mmmhh, I have doubts about this - e.g. that their business that sells compilers isn't as important as the one that sells CPUs. There would be of course an indirect long-term effect etc... .
