Quite frankly, at this point, there's no way in hell I believe we can do

I wouldn't mind an ext4 (that hopefully drops some of the features of
ext3, and might not downgrade to ext2 on errors, for example).
Certainly agreed, for all of this :)
I think that the lack of ext4 means people keep trying to stuff the
wrong things into ext3.
