I'll look into upgrades then.

For FSFS I imagine having an external tool to populate the cache --
i.e., format 6 will mean "/can/ have a successors cache", but there will
be an additional bit saying "the successors cache is up to date".

I'll also look into BDB, but I'm not sure offhand what to suggest there.
