Indeed!
ext3 does quite a few things to stay compatible with ext2 - and frankly,
i very much expected it to do that when i migrated my ext2 data to ext3.
The days of "change the world in an incompatible way and dont look back"
are gone.
I agree with your point in the thread -- most users and distros don't
change their main fs on a whim. But I also point out that these
extent+48bit changes _do_ change the format in an incompatible way...
