As we've always done in the past, we've waited for around a year after upstream kernel support for a feature has been supported before turning on the feature by default in xfsprogs. Kernel 3.16 was released just over a year ago with full CRC support. Our hand was kinda forced by distros independently enabling these features by default before upstream enabled them, so we enabled it a bt sooner than previous feature default changes. Clearly we (upstream) have no control over what distros ship and enable. We can't stop distros from upgrading userspace out of step with the kernel they ship, nor can we stop them from changing default feature enablement. However, it's up to the distro to make sure that the userspace package and the default configurations they ship work correctly with the kernel they ship. i.e. if Gentoo are shipping xfsprogs 3.2.4 w/ kernel 3.14.51, then Gentoo has a quality control problem - they have failed to verify that the packages they are shipping work correctly before shipping them to users...
