If we could get rid of ext2 (and eventually ext3), it would actually

A distribution can do that at any time, just by unconfiguring
CONFIG_EXT2 and/or CONFIG_EXT3 and configuring
CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23. :-)

Way too easy :)
What makes users stop using things is google searches that show up Ted saying
"We don't need ext2 any more, just use ext4 with no journal mode" ;)
