Question #78122 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78122

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
It will be default in karmic but it has grown a lot (ALWAYS check dates
on  publications badmouthing stuff, if its old its probably because its
young/experimental)

ext4 is still journalised but gives more speed over ext3, there are
other filesystems that Linux can use also like
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS but no one uses it in Ubuntu (rightly
so) as the defaults are sufficient for the average level of an Ubuntu
user.

There have been reports of data loss on hard shutdowns but I will be
using ext3 for all installs as it is tried and tested and is not slow on
my system. People have also reported faster boot times but this doesnt
affect me as my low power systems are on 24/7.
