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.
Certainly. Hopefully one would follow the other, for maximum benefit.
