The problem being that it doesn't _exclusively_ address scaling issues, 
some new features may well be interesting to non high end users as well. 
If it's supposed to be a high end only fs, then please don't call ext4, 
otherwise it would mislead users about what it doesn't is - a general 
purpose fs.
