It is already, since it also supports ext3.

That would be a candidate for a branch then.
Since we also plan to support ext4, calling it ext3 wouldn't make sense
either. In the long term, I would either go with the version of the
latest support (ie. rename it from time to time), use "x" instead
(although extx would look strange, too), or drop the version altogether
(just falling it "ext" - or maybe then rename it to "extfs" instead).
For now, I wouldn't worry about that, though, and just work in the ext2
directory and code :-)
Bye,
