If it will remain a mount option, if it is never made the default (either in kernel or distro level), then only 1% of users will ever use the feature. And we shouldn't merge a 1% use feature into the _main_ filesystem for Linux.

Why not? That's how htree dir indexing got in, and AFAIK most distros
use it as a default.

The question is not today's usage, but long term production usage. If it is destined to be default eventually, then it's not a 1% case.
