I remember 2.4.11 was fs corrupting and official tarballs were renamed:
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.11-dontuse.tar.bz2
I'm not ext4 guy but which versions were affected recently?

That would seem like an overreaction. You've got to do some pretty rare
actions to corrupt your filesystem (iirc it was O_SYNC, O_DIRECT writes
that extend the file?)
