AFAIK the original stated intention of ext3 was
cd linux/fs
cp -a ext2 ext3
# hack on ext3
That leaves ext2 in ultra-stability,
no-patches-unless-absolutely-necessary mode.
IMHO prove a new feature, like directories in page cache, journaling,
etc. in ext3 first. Then maybe after a year of testing, if people
actually care, backport those features to ext2.
