I believe it's as stable as before until you mount with extents
mount option.
If it will remain a mount option, if it is never made the default
(either in kernel or distro level), then only 1% of users will ever use
the feature. And we shouldn't merge a 1% use feature into the _main_
filesystem for Linux.
