128 *bits*?  What filesystem have you been using?  :)  We've got
luxury-class block pointers that are 128 *bytes*.  We get away with it

For both the encryption and checksum use, it wouldn't be unreasonable to see the requirements here expand (maybe double?) sometime in the near future.

I don't believe it does need to grow at all. Certainly not for checksum or compression and at this stage I don't seem to need any more space for crypto either.
