Jeff's approach taken to the rediculous would mean that we'd have
ext versions 1-40 by now at least. I don't think that helps much,

That's plainly silly. Like everything else in life, it is a balance of
costs.
At some point, ext3's fs-feature-flag approach increases the
combinations of metadata variants you must support exponentially.
Moving to extents and 48bit (which I want) is a big enough step that,
IMO, some of the support costs become far more obvious.
