Right ... I don't think that this is a technical issue and I agree, ext2 
should be sufficient as a minimum requirement.
It is more about the formal difference between "ext2/3 support is most 
likely there anyway" and "ext2/3 support is guaranteed to be there" in a 
valid boot loader. That's why I support the request for ext(2|3) as a 
minimum requirement.
