How about having a "version" field in the superblock and if we want to 
change the media layout, we'd just have to supply a tool which changes the 
filesystem from the old format into the new format.  This way we could 
keep on changing the layout without having to worry too much about 
incompatible changes.  I'd hate to be forced to use an inferior format, 
just because we might already have a user base using it.
