I did try to go to the 5.X series, but the AMDGPU drivers don't work on my SI card anymore (I need to bisect which takes time and many re-boots to find the problematic commit).

I'm not looking for fight, I'm incredulous. It's a great FS that survives oops-es, power failures, and random crashes very very well. It's the only FLOSS FS with tail packing. Thanks, David
