Got tired of maintaining ext3, eh? :-)

As a minor nit, I wonder if it's worth while to put in some hackery in
fs/Kconfig so that if someone only has CONFIG_FS_EXT3 defined, but not
CONFIG_FS_EXT4 defined, that it will automatically enable
CONFIG_FS_EXT4 instead? Otherwise someone upgrading their kernel
might accidentally end up getting a non-functional kernel.

i.e., something like this? (not tested!)

config FS_EXT3
def_bool n
select FS_EXT4


In any case, since the 2/3 patch didn't hit the list, here's my:

Acked-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

For that patch.

- Ted
