Ok, I'm happy with this now that I was reminded of the difference
between clusters & chunks.  :/

Ben, regarding your compat concern, I agree w/ Dave that there
should be no failures moving forward or back; as he & I mentioned
(I had missed his other reply), the kernel already (used to) set
different cluster sizes based on the memory available in the machine
that mounted the filesystem.
