Oh come on, ext3 is majorly useful just because you can switch from ext2
to ext3 and back without reformatting.  Quickly too.

Copying gigs (in some cases hundreds of gigs) back and forth to switch
to reiserfs, with equal pain switching back if it doesn't work well
after all, can be a _big_ undertaking.
