To those moving to Jaunty: Do not use the new ext4

I'm not blaming the ext4 developers nor am I blaming KDE, but there
exists a dangerous condition for using KDE under ext4:

The /. article links to Launchpad bugs. I do not link to them directly
because the /. comments are actually very important for this issue,
and will be more informative than the flames and
responsibility-denying that I am sure will ensue here.

In short, don't use ext4 on Kubuntu Jaunty. In fact, I have argued
before that end users should avoid ext4 or any new technology for some
time after debut.
