I think there was still some question as to how the ext4 code was
going to replace the ext2 code and be git-bisectable. I'm personally
really looking forward to the ext4 code going mainline

I suppose the question would be how big the code change is versus how
many people will actually benefit. If it result in a 'big' increase in
.text or .data then it may need to be a compile time option
(CONFIG_SYS_HUGE_EXT4 or something)
