You can commit such a change if you'd like, as far as I am concerned.

I suspect few (if any) export ext2fs file systems anyhow, so this structure
is unlikely to ever be used.

There was a discussion on phabricator in D47879 about reordering
entries and the consensus there seemed to be avoid doing that,
although admittedly I think they were referring to the first two fields,
which match the ones in the generic "struct fid".
