Anyone experienced data loss on ext4?

Has anyone using ext4 filesystem experienced any data loss? Was using ext3 till now, and just formatted my new server to ext4 and this article comes out.

No. Never once. ext4 has survived some pretty weird stuff for me and I've never seen any kind of data loss. From the looks of the article, it's going to take some work to re-create the data loss scenario.
Unexplained data loss? No, never. Ext4 has been the default for many distros for years. This is obviously a really, really obscure edge case if an issue at all...
