Sounds like a plan.

I haven't seriously looked at ext4 code in many months.  When I did I found
the changes to be quite incomprehensible, very, very poorly commented and
with quite a lot of odd-looking things about which I asked but got, iirc,
no useful reply.

Hopefully it got better.

Which patches are you proposing merging into 2.6.23?
