Of course that's one and a half. initrd.txt changed in 2.4.0-test12 to be exact.
However, we shouldn't break the old initrd method in 2.4 - that's what 2.5 is for, but ext3 is a new feature introduced after in 2.4.9.
So, the question becomes - is it reasonable to expect new features introduced in a stable kernel series to work with obsolete methods that have already been replaced with far better solutions.
