@Adam -- we have discussed this on the kernel-team mailing list, and
with ext4 being such a very new kernel feature and of unproven
reliability we feel it is unwise to be adding feature patches which are
not yet merged to mainline.  We are very likely to need to backport ext4
fixes from 2.6.29 and anything non-standard we have may well conflict
adding to our maintenance and risk during this early stage in ext4's
lifecycle.

Assuming that this functionality is making its way to mainline, we
should end up picking it up automatically, most likely in the next
cycle.  The kernel there is most likely to be 2.6.29 or 2.6.30 based
depending on mainlines release timing.  Should they be in mainline and
test ok in the next cycle we could consider then backporting it to
Jaunty.

For now closing this Won't Fix for Jaunty.
