Only third-hand information saying that it seems quirky, QA never liked it,
and the developer who pushed it (s/he came from Sybase) eventually left.

It may well have had more to do with the increase in reliability that
it should have provided. Does the phrase "two swings of the axe" mean
anything to you? Basically, it means that there is no single point of
failure. If you're going to pay the performance cost of adding a journal
to InterBase, it ought to make the system more fault tolerant. This
design really didn't.

It's all over the engine and in the component WAL. Search for the
upper case string WAL.
