Are you actually saying you believe commit/rollback is a *bad* thing?
If so, you are definitely the first person I've ever heard say that...

I'm not criticizing your opinion; I'm just trying to understand. I
agree with you that feature creep causes major bloat, which in turn
causes huge opportunities for bloat. But when you have such an
important feature for guaranteeing data reliability, I would
definitely consider it worth the slight risk the added code
introduces.

One reason I avoided using mysql for so long was specifically because
it lacked commit/rollback functionality.
