Then we need to fix that eventually rather than making it worse. Which
means any _new_ data structure should start that way.

Maybe it does right now. But ther is nothing fundamental in that, so
please don't design stupid on-disk formats to encode that are going to
come back to bite us sooner or later. Be that by adding 32-bit support
for any Linux DAX device, or by new 96 or 128bit CPUs.

Not for on-disk data structures.

It could change between one use and another.
