mkfs 23 vs 25

Older releases used to have enabled the "uninit_bg" feature.

e2fsprogs-1.43.3-1.fc25.x86_64

Hm, it's been broken for some time.

upstream:

commit d33e690fe7a6cbeb51349d9f2c7fb16a6ebec9c2

    mke2fs.conf: add back missing uninit_bg feature flag
    
    Commit 0da058af9f88: "mke2fs.conf: don't enable metadata_csum by
    default" removed metadata_csum without adding back the uninit_bg flag
    --- which had the net result of causing file systems to take a long
    time to mke2fs, since this caused all of the block group metadata to
    be initialized.

Should this really be closed as RAWHIDE? How about building e2fsprogs-1.43.4 for f25?
