I'm a bit confused then.
You said "we haven't bumped the repos format number since *before* we
created the concept of separate FS format numbers".
That implies that it wasn't bumped when separate FS format numbers were
created.
Which means the internal format numbers can't ever be the only thing
bumped, because older versions don't look at them.
Which brings me to the question.
If we can't actually just bump the internal FS format numbers when
completely internal changes are made, why are they there and checked?
