Well it was a very longstanding bug that "Ext2/3" actually meant "Ext4" for the most part (unless one chose to tweak the filesystem creation parameters and turned off ext4 extents or even ext3 journal -- it's been finally fixed, sorry for confusion :-) There were other differences in the installation process but I'm not that keen on those so asking those who are. > So, this is where I'm at.

We tend to keep older branches alive for quite some more time than officially stated, and some community members play an important role in that -- I tend to switch to new stable branches a bit in advance but then again I'd really better see what exactly our users will face in advance either ;-) > I just wanted the team to know my results, as I said I would > report them back to you.
