(Get the code!)
Escalation won't particularly help as this is just plain difficult to fix: there's no single cause for the code growing beyond the relevant size, but rather gradual accretion of bug-fixes has meant the code is now just slightly larger than will fit. I don't regard LVM or RAID as exotic, and in that case this is a regression; they're close enough to the size limit that we may be able to squeeze things back down again in a future upstream version, but it will take some slow and steady work.
btrfs and ZFS are over the size limit by a very considerable margin, and it is unlikely that we will ever be able to squeeze support for those into 62 sectors. They were never there in the first place, so in that case this isn't a regression.
