Unfortunately, all of these changes put together were significant
enough that I didn't feel comfortable putting them in the 1.42.x
maintenance branch, especially since Debian is going through its
freeze process and I'm trying to get 1.42.5 into the release.  So I'm
being a lot more conservative about what sort of changes I'm allowing
into the maintenance branch at this point.

The 'master' and 'next' branches in git are targetting the 1.43
release of e2fsprogs.  If you need a tarball, and not just git tree
reference, I could cut a pre-release snapshot for testing purposes.  I
was planning on doing that soon for the metadata checksum and/or
inline data features in any case.
