For my 2c, I don't see it being obsolete in a few years, even if every
existing FS out there gets checksumming (which won't happen, imv).
It's quite clear that there is still ongoing development in the
filesystem space and any new software will have its own set of bugs.
Having a layer of protection built-in to PG wil undoubtably be a good
thing and will be used by our users.
Thanks,
