Ext4 is reliable than ext2, I guess. And, /boot needs it.
Ext4 is more reliable than ext2 in that it journals it's metadata
changes so that if a write doesn't complete for some reason the volume
can be recovered the next time it is mounted. However, on a boot
partition which receives essentially no writes after it is initially
created, this is no advantage at all, as there are no writes being done.
Since this change may cause some people trouble and doesn't help
anything as far as I can see, why do it?
