Hi,

I wrote this bug report because I assumed the release interval for forky as 2027 
-2030, which is within the kernel removal date for XFS V4 feature in 2030.

Enabling CONFIG_XFS_SUPPORT_V4 would allow to continue running otherwise 
perfectly fine existing legacy XFS V4 filesystems without unnecessary breaking 
anything within forky's release cycle...
