Yes, but whenever you start reserving code points that impact the
on-disk format, you need to be careful and coordinate. Exactly is the
purpose of this flag, and why is it here?
And I don't see any patch in the kernel patch queue that uses this
flag. Is this intended for internal use inside e2fsprogs? If so,
this might not be the best place for it.....
