I can confirm that this does correctly set the casefold flag (and yes, child directories also inherit it). Whether we want to do it is another question.
I'm having a hard time coming up with reasons not to, but that may just be lack of imagination on my part.
Not related to the decision, but I should have noted that one needs to have the casefold feature set on the filesystem for one to be able to set the casefold flag on a directory. That needs to be done by mke2fs, so we'll probably want distros to add it to /etc/mke2fs.conf .
