If you force everyone to use 64bit sector numbers, I don't understand how
you can claim "still working just fine on 32bit"?
At some point ext4 is probably going to be the de facto standard, which
very many people want to use, because it has all the new features, which
won't be ported to ext2/3. So I still don't understand, what's so wrong
about a little tuning in both directions?
