I think mainly as there are bits of info which can't be represented
in a level 1 ffs. Level 2 raised the UID and GID values to 32 bit.
They won't fit in old-style ffs's. Plus a lot of stuff (like all the
white-outs) would have to get thrown away.

Someone probably could write a program to revert, but it doesn't
really seem worth it. It'd seem easier to just make a new level 1 ffs
and copy.

Take care,
