Hi,

ext4 is being developed primarily to address scaling issues at the high end of

just use ext3, and be happy with your 32-bit, < 16TB filesystems, I'd say.
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. 

It will work just fine on 32-bit machines.

You're making a mountain out of a molehill.
