10.0.* are all development cuts, we didn't even built packages for
some of them.  10.1.0 is the first release candidate.  You can think of
10.0.5 as a random pre-rc1 kernel snapshot, aimed at brave testers, so
you do want to upgrade.

The reason it doesn't work is those three features are all defined to
the same value, but two of them got added earlier in the 10.0.* cycle.
CEPH_FEATURE_FS_FILE_LAYOUT_V2 came in last, after 10.0.5.

Thanks,
