Ok, I can do that if you prefer.  Although if you don't plan to migrate
to ext4, and don't use xattrs, you might want the smaller inodes to save
space, since inode overhead on ext$FOO is nontrivial.

I'm not sure where upstream is going on this one, but I can sort it out
if you'd rather not have it in anaconda.

Thanks,
