Unfortunately, all of these changes put together were significant

being a lot more conservative about what sort of changes I'm allowing
into the maintenance branch at this point.

Okay.
 

The 'master' and 'next' branches in git are targetting the 1.43
release of e2fsprogs.  If you need a tarball, and not just git tree
reference, I could cut a pre-release snapshot for testing purposes.  I
was planning on doing that soon for the metadata checksum and/or
inline data features in any case.

I don't think I specifically need it, but if I see an RC or testing
snapshot I'll certainly use it :)

Again thanks for your help on this.
