Public bug reported:

Unfortunately I do not have any hard data on this. I can only quote the
ardour development team on the last release of ardour3:

"Ardour 3.5.403 is (yet another) CRITICAL bug fix release. ALL USERS ARE
RECOMMENDED TO UPGRADE. Additionally, ALL LINUX DISTRIBUTIONS SHOULD
IMMEDIATELY UPGRADE/UPDATE TO THIS RELEASE. Distributing earlier
versions of 3.5 at this point is irresponsible and risks our users'
data.

As with 3.5.380, this release includes several more absolutely vital
fixes for bugs could lead to audio and MIDI files being irreversibly
deleted from disk.

We still do not know precisely how these losses happened - no user ever
found a reliable recipe to recreate all of them - but reports from
several different users did lead to a careful code review which
uncovered some potential for file loss. "
