v2 space cache is still rather new and had only recently some bug that could
have caused catastrophic data corruption... so not everyone might want to
switch.
Similarly, people may want to have these filesystems mounted with older
kernels, whose v2 support isn't that good yet.

But now it a) migrates to testing an possibly leaves even more systems with an
unbootable system... b) with severity important, people using e.g. apr-listbugs
won't see it.
OTOH, fixing the CVE is of course important, too.
