Old filesystems depend on old core functionality like bufferheads.

We want to remove bufferheads.

Who has the responsibility for updating those old filesystmes to use
iomap instead of bufferheads?

Who has the responsibility for testing those filesystems still work
after the update?

Who has the responsibility for looking at a syzbot bug report that comes
in twelve months after the conversion is done and deciding whether the
conversion was the problem, or whether it's some other patch that
happened before or after?
