Bug Description
When the old code is disabled the ext4 driver takes over and does a better job and gives a smaller kernel. Specifically the ext4 driver does a better job of resisting fragmentation since it uses delayed allocation, and supports online resize, whereas the ext2 driver does not.
Config changes requested:
CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y -> n
CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y -> n
CONFIG_

Well, my local rebuild failed, due to checks advising one to start begging for mercy since "ext2" module got dropped.... =) i didn't do ignores before but the wikipages explain it. I wonder if chacks can verify that either ext2/3 modules are present or EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23 is enabled.
