Well, I'm hoping all the big changes getting libxfs up to date with
the kernel code are now done, and things will settle down for the
next few months so this will be less of a problem. Also having a
stable master branch and a moving for-next branch for xfsprogs
should help with this, too....

The structure of the table-based parsing should make the order of
parsing irrelevant, as conflicts are defined in the table and so
will be detected regardless of the order in which the options appear
on the command line.

Cheers,

Dave.
