There was a preliminary version of xfsprogs sent out before to
match this version:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201028114010.545331-1-hsiangkao@xxxxxxxxxx
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/20201028114010.545331-1-hsiangkao@xxxxxxxxxx/raw

This added a EXPERIMENTAL warning but without a new argument
for shrinking.

Thanks,
