I was looking through the RHEL e2fsprogs.spec file and saw that you are still carrying the e2fsprogs-1.40.4-sb_feature_check_ignore.patch to avoid problems if the kernel sets xattrs on a new filesystem and doesn't copy this into the backup superblock. It seems that mke2fs enables the xattr feature in the superblock by default for all filesystems (courtesy of misc/default_profile.c), and e2fsck doesn't drop COMPAT_EXT_XATTR even if the filesystem doesn't have xattrs, so most of the danger of not having this patch are behind us. That said, it probably still makes sense to include this patch into the upstream e2fsprogs, unless there is some reason not to? It looks pretty low risk.
