Right, and that proves my point. When you start making major changes
like 32->64 bit block numbers, you should communicate to the user (with
a big blinky "ext4" sign) that his filesystem metadata will change a
lot, not a little. Not to mention that such code will add yet more "if
(new) .. else .." code.
Forking the code and registering another filesystem name are two separate things, though.
You can easily have a single filesystem module register two different filesystem names.
