This would be the conservative release management you were talking about
before, right?  It's going to take a considerable amount of time for v4
to obsolete v3, because it will take a considerable amount of time for
v4 to become stable under the wide range of conditions that filesystems
get used.

Please don't misunderstand this as a statement against v4, I would love
to see it be 1000x as fast as every other FS.  I'm only asking for some
kind of realism in the expectations you give the users.
