I think the suggestion is to use block numbers (or some other form
of addressing larger units) only internally to some subsystem where
these have a meaning and to use byte counts between those subsystems.
After all, the hardware does use blocks.
Quotas should use the units the filesystem uses. For FFS that's
probably fragments.
