One minor thing, when I'm debugging ext3 in a fedora kernel it's awfully
nice to boot on a non-ext3 root and then be able to load/unload test
ext3 modules.  That's a little whiny of me; of course I can just rebuild
the kernel with ext3 modular for testing but sometimes it's a very quick
way to be able to troubleshoot on a particular kernel if necessary.

As an even more minor thing not *everyone* uses ext3, but I guess 99.9%
of the Fedora universe is close enough.  :)
