Right; one of the reasons for making an ext4 tree but registering it as
"ext3dev" in the short term would be to make it explicit that the
filesystem is not feature complete, and so to support adding things like
extents quickly while allowing more features to be added later before
closing the door on the "ext4" feature set.
