The reason why we weren't doing this is because older versions of
e2fsprogs I don't think set the free blocks count correctly.  Or at
least, I have a vague memory that this was the case.  I'll have to do
some code archeology before can be 100% sure this is safe to do.

Regards,

I think the other reason is that this gives the kernel code some flexibility in how the group is formatted (e.g. flex_bg or whatever may move allocated blocks around).
