In theory, yes, though there is a lot of code that checks the
di_version field and the superblock version checks are more
heavyweight.

I think it's also a cleaner design to base general inode
formatting decisions on the inode version number and it's internal
flags, because then we don't have to rely on external code to
determine exactly what to do. e.g. in userspace there is no
guarantee we have a superblock context we can access, even if we
have a struct xfs_inode or a struct xfs_icdinode...

Cheers,

Dave.
