In a word: choice. Before ext2 there was the original ext. Or was it
called extfs? I forget. Soon there will be ext3 and others to choose from.
hhmm... Can ext2 be replaced with, say, romfs for embedded apps? I'm glad
Linus and the others gave us this flexibility unlike that choice-less
OS <ahem> out there.
