The warning mentions the date 2000-06-01.  What are you planning to
happen on that date?  Whatever it is, please make it tolerant.  I
don't care whether I can _use_ the old block devices, but I would
like to be able to ls them, dump them, restore them, etc., without
terrible consequences.  (I would even settle for not being able to
dump/restore them, as long as dump/restore don't die upon encountering
them.)  Basically I still want to be able to mount 3.x filesystems on
5.x systems without problems.

John
