This is correct, the default was changed in upstream with f69260511c69
("xfs: disable deprecated features by default in Kconfig") and I
believe we should follow that within the forky release cycle. 

Thus for forky I do not think we should diverge here from the default
and re-enable deprecated features, but probably we should document it
at least in the release notes so that people upgrading from trixie to
forky are awaere that V4 filesystems will not be supported anymore.

A NEWS entry in the packaging itself might be a good idea as well.

Regards,
Salvatore
