Would you vote +1 under the 3-vote policy ("seems o.k. but more
independent review should take place")?

Because FSX is not going to be recommended for general before
2017 or so.
While being only moderately complex, the log-addressing feature
revitalizes FSFS development. For instance, it will allow us to
introduce new versions of existing item types (e.g. extended change
list information; move-aware noderevs) in the same repository as
old item types.
Of curse, FSFSv7 will also be massively faster for a wide range of
operations and will continue to benefit from optimizations such as
pre-fetching in future releases. Finally, it provides 100% checksum
coverage of the rev/pack file contents. The source of a corruption
becomes much easier to spot.
