nope, you aren't allowed to mount fs with extents-enabled files
by ext3 which has no the feature compiled in. the same will
happen if you call it ext4.
This is my point... why increase user confusion by calling it ext3, then?
Extent magnify the "what ext3 filesystem am I talking to, today?" problem.
