That much I worked out for myself. It's kinda staggering that a fairly major feature in two fairly major filesystems got removed without even a mention in the changelog. I don't recall having seen it discussed in email but I obviously missed that bit.
Look, I'm one micron from just dropping the whole lot. These changes simply have not received the amount of energy, effort, care, attention and testing which a change of this magnitude requires.
