My suggestion is indeed effectivly (almost) doubling the inode size.
However, it provides an upgrade path, where you can double-boot with a kernel that DOESN"T know about the inodes.
The 2.2 kernels already compute EXT2_INODE_SIZE based on a value in the superblock. So an old kernel will be able to deal correctly if we double the size of the inodes.
Credit me with at least *some* foresight. :-)
