Sorry, I've been travelling a lot lately and I'm a bit behind on
processing patch submissions.  I'm going to try to catch up over the
next week or so in preparation for the next merge window.  I'll send
you an update on this (and hopefully your Next3 e2fsprogs patch
submissions, although that doesn't have the same urgency due to
Linus's upcoming merge window for kernel patches) soon.
