Well, I still think that log-addressing branch should *NOT* be merged
and all FS _performance_ and format changes should be implemented in
FSX.

My primary concern is that currently FSFS supports reading and writing
all FSFS formats. And there are more than 6 formats now, because they
can differ of how repositories were upgraded. This makes code very
complicated, because it should handle all different combinations of
formats/upgrades.

In recent Subversion 1.8 release we got several critical data
corruption errors due this complexity and handling older formats:
* hotcopy: fix hotcopy losing revprop files in packed repos (issue #4448)
* hotcopy: cleanup unpacked revprops with '--incremental' (r1512300 et al)
* fsfs: fixed manifest file growth with revprop changes (r1513874)
* fsfs: fix packed revprops causing loss of revprops (r1513879 et al)
* fsfs: resolve endless loop problem when repos/db/uuid has \r\n (r1492145)
* fsfs: remove revision property buffer limit (r1491770)
* svnadmin upgrade: fix error of non-sharded fsfs repositories (r1494287)
* svnadmin upgrade: fix data loss when cancelling in last stage (r1494298)

This doesn't make sense for me: if FSX code is not ready for general
use before 2017 then we should not push FSX-like features to stable
and time proven FSFS.
