If delalloc, mballoc, extents are the new defaults, is there a reason to
keep them as options?  When would you need to specify -o extents, now,
for example?  (though my brain is fuzzy today, maybe I'm missing
something)  If this were not a filesystem ending in "dev" I could see
keeping it for compatibility with existing fstabs....

I'd either update this comment ^^^^ or remove it, I think.
