Clearly somebody made a copy&paste error from the actual documentation.

Here's the docs on master and the recent LTS releases.
http://docs.ceph.com/docs/firefly/rados/configuration/filesystem-recommendations/
http://docs.ceph.com/docs/hammer/rados/configuration/filesystem-recommendations/
http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master2/rados/configuration/filesystem-recommendations/

The documentation has NEVER recommended ext4.
Here's a slice of all history for that file:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~robbat2/ceph-history-of-filesystem-recommendations.patch

Generated with 
$ git log -C -C -M -p ceph/master -- \
	doc/rados/configuration/filesystem-recommendations.rst \
	doc/config-cluster/file-system-recommendations.rst \
	doc/config-cluster/file_system_recommendations.rst

The very first version, back in 2012, said:
