i wouldn't call them v3 dirs either, that implies its an `upgrade' to
v2, when in fact its a downgrade (non-broken -> broken). maybe call
them v0 (afaik xfs only has two dir formats v1 and v2). or call it
something entirely different, like broken_dirs ;-)
i still take the stance that this kind of thing belongs in userspace
(eg samba).
