I've been wondering for years why we weren't already doing this.
see above, but I can live with it. Will we add ext4 and xfs (and reiserfs and jfs) too?
Having one root-suitable filesystem built-in makes it easier to do a lot of atypical boot configurations, which are becoming rather interesting thanks to virtualization. If we're going to pick one, I think ext3 makes the most sense. I don't see a lot of benefit to building in xfs, reiserfs, or jfs, and I think we should definitely keep ext4 modular in its current stage of development.
