@Jeremy:

If you look at the kernel docs, ext4 is considered stable. I personally
haven't seen a problem with several systems running ext4. It only becomes
an issue if your system is unstable and you're using software that "assumes"
ext3 (and older) behavior.

@all:

I believe that having ext4 "mimic" the behavior of ext3 makes it ext3 with
extents. I believe that would negate all of the purpose of delayed
allocation. Theo would be able to explain it better.
