suspect it's v0.99 quality, ie nobody has
the nerve to upgrade it to v1, despite it being rock solid. I know I've
used it without trouble. Most of these utilities are pretty solid
(unless the underlying filesystem itself is experimental ...)

The web solution talks about not yet released resize2fs source and
compiling in latest kernel etc. That is bleeding edge to me. I like to
stick to stable versions of distro.
My days of young and adventurous are gone. I have been with Linus/linux
when he released some mock alpha kernlel that would only print A/B to
show context switching. I remember the lengthy conversation/argument
that he had with Prof. Tannenbaum (sp?) on monolithic vs. micro kernel.
I enjoyed compiling kernel and reading code to figure out why some thing
did not work. However that is a long time ago. I just have aged, become
less current and rusty with tricks. I use stable distros and stick the
trusted kernel/packages in them now. So, in that context, would you not
say resize2fs approach is bleeding edge :-)
