yes,qcow3 should be qcow2 V3.  I don't think they want to rewrote from strach a new format, only try to improve current.

It could be fine to bench FVD  vs current qcow2 (with metadata preallocation, and the new lazycount option)

I just wrote a mail to the developer - maybe I will get a reply.

Yes, but qcow3 is also non-existent? Or do they simply improve qcow2 now?
