Andy, despite the #5 & #6 comments, this bug report is about the config
change requrest to flip CONFIG_EXT2|3_FS to "n" and set
CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23 to "y", which I don't see applied on neither
master & master-next branches.

Is this config change be applied in 3.13 kernels?

  Please set CONFIG_EXT3_FS=n and CONFIG_EXT2_FS=n and

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
