There is an "interesting" failure-mechanism when you move a disk
between 13/current and older systems which do not support ufs-hashes.
It will be prudent to make 11 and 12 clear the "use hashes" flags
in the superblocks of all filesystems they mount R/W, to limit
the amount havoc this will cause when people start playing with 13.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
