So you you would be in OK of a model where we copy fs/ext3 to

ext3dev, while people who want stability can use ext3 --- and at some
point, we remove the old ext3 entirely and let fs/ext4 register itself
as both the ext3 and ext4 filesystem, and at some point in the future,
remove the ext3 name entirely?
Yep, and in addition I would argue that you can take the opportunity to
make ext4 default to extents-enabled, and some similar behavior changes
(dir_index default?). The existence of both ext3 and ext4 means you can
be more aggressive in turning on stuff, IMO.
