Purely out of curiosity: if one has xattrs available, then what is the
benefit of going with the xattr-assisted emulation as opposed using
xattrs for the attributes directly as we did before? Is it to deal
with the constraints on xattr size on various filesystems?

So, this will probably become the new preference on ext/btrfs Linux machines?
At least it's my new preference on ext 4. A few days ago I switched from reiserfs due to performance issues (either the FS itself has degenerated or the kernel doesn't support it that well anymore) and already ran into a big attribute mix-up.
