Well, is ext2 currently well maintained? ext4 is, sure, but ext2?  I
sounds questionnable to me to commit to some file system that is
clearly on its way out pretty much everywhere, and that since
years.

I mean, fat isn't really the epitome of file systems, but it *is*
generally very well supported, all across systems, and it's not really
on its way anywhere at all...
