Re: [Ext2-devel] [RFC 0/13] extents and 48bit ext3

the main reason is that ext4 would be treated as a new generation
fs which will be used for lots of new features probably. and it
will take long to get into production-ready state. at the same
time, proposed patches (at least extents itself) are heavily
tested in production and could be made available for our users
very soon.

No -- that's a bad way to develop it, and a good way to ensure it will never get stable.

You want to start from a known good point, and keep it working. Standard iterative development model.
