If you are interested, which variant do you prefer?
I'll note that we don't have consistency across all of the entries in fs/Kconfig, not just ext2/ext3/ext4. If it were just up to me I'd probably prefer:
Ext2 file system support (EXT2_FS) [N/m/y/?] n Ext3 file system support (EXT3_FS) [N/m/y/?] n Ext4 file system support (EXT4_FS) [N/m/y/?] (NEW) n
... but it might be worth looking at the other entries in fs/Kconfig as well.
