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.
Why not? That's how htree dir indexing got in, and AFAIK most distros
use it as a default.
The question is not today's usage, but long term production usage. If
it is destined to be default eventually, then it's not a 1% case.
