Why?  fsdevel bikeshedding is a pointless waste of time.  Jeremy ran
four rounds of proposing the new api on linux-api, linux-fsdevel, and
linux-ext4.  Matthew Wilcox and I sent in our comments, including adding
some flexibility for shorter or longer uuids, so he updated the proposal
and it got merged:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-api/?q=Bongio

The instant Catherine started talking about using this new API, Dave
came in and said no, flex arrays for uuids are stupid, and told
Catherine she ought to "fix" the landmines by changing the structure
definition:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/20221121211437.GK3600936@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ 

Never mind that changing the struct size causes the output of _IOR to
change, which means a new ioctl command number, which is effectively a
new interface.  I think we'll just put new ioctls in xfs_fs_staging.h,
merge the code, let people kick the tires for a few months, and only
then make it permanent.

Though really, that's the least of the problems, especially since Dave
had a pretty good list of questions elsewhere in this thread.

Um, these two ioctls have different namespace /and/ different structure
sizes.  This is literally defining a new interface.
