Tollef Fog Heen points out on IRC that this is a potential data loss
regression:

 < Mithrandir> slangasek: mounting file systems will always cause the journal 
to be replayed, something which can cause data loss if the file system is in 
use by a hibernated system.
 < Mithrandir> so, hibernate, boot live cd, boom, instant file system 
corruption.
 < Mithrandir> luckily only if you try to use it with persistence enabled, it 
seems.

This may be considered an acceptable risk going forward, but is an
inappropriate change in an SRU.  Please drop ext3 from the list of
filesystem types to scan.
