   @PiotrKozimor The only way to recover the `delayed_commits` option would be to run an older 2.x release. As to `fsync_options` leaving that would have allowed users to disable fsyncs in an unsafe manner that would lead to corruption of a database (whereas `delayed_commits` might lose the last second of data, removing fsyncs can actually result in a database that is unreadable by CouchDB).
   
   Another thing to keep in mind is that the next version of CouchDB will be based on FoundationDB which will change a lot of this considerably as the storage implementation will be different. There's interest in implementing the ability for CouchDB to run against a storage engine that would theoretically work much better on embedded devices, although this is not currently a promised feature. If you're interested in that work and/or contributing to that you should sign up for the dev@couchdb.apache.org mailing list.
