I understand where you're coming from, though I disagree.

I hope you continue to explain these caveats to everyone considering MongoDB. I hope you recognize that not everyone is an expert in these limitations, and that you clearly explain to those that might not know it that MongoDB's "2GB limit" really means "data loss"; as does 'asynchronous'. Then you'll see fewer blog posts from people that didn't see through the marketing speak and were bitten by the defaults.

Right now, I think all these blog posts describing MongoDB losing data or performing poorly are getting upvoted because people are learning of these limitations for the first time.
