Frankly my expectation from a file system that's marked as being robust and enterprise ready is that you should lose nothing if the drive is "almost full", and the file system should shut down gracefully if the drive is full, especially in normal situations.
Sysadmins should not have to worry that they'll lose data to corruption if the drive is "almost full" in the normal course of events. If you're doing something like the extreme use cases noted in the KB article, then that's possibly a different situation, but in that type of situation you're probably monitoring your disks with an eagle eye anyway. Additionally, Microsoft is correct to warn that a potential issue does exist.

"A volume is full or almost full." Yeah data will start getting screwed up when you have that situation. In SBSland we lose our CAL licenses and other such fun things on a too tight drive.
