Okay, I will keep them.
And he is saying that the version of mkfs/fsck.exfat in exfatprogs should be higher than
the version 1.3.1 of mkfs/fsck.exfat in current exfat-utils package to reduce the confusion of
old users. For this reason, it confuses me whether it makes sense to significantly increase the version.
So I'm thinking about raising the version to 2.0.0 when the big feature like repair comes in.
