Well, my local rebuild failed, due to checks advising one to start
begging for mercy since "ext2" module got dropped.... =) i didn't do
ignores before but the wikipages explain it. I wonder if chacks can
verify that either ext2/3 modules are present or EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23 is
enabled.

Title:
  Please set CONFIG_EXT3_FS=n and CONFIG_EXT2_FS=n and
  CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23=y

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “linux” source package in Trusty:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  When the old code is disabled the ext4 driver takes over and does a
  better job and gives a smaller kernel.  Specifically the ext4 driver
  does a better job of resisting fragmentation since it uses delayed
  allocation, and supports online resize, whereas the ext2 driver does
  not.

  Config changes requested:

  CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y -> n
  CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y -> n
  CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23 (NEW) -> y
