I don't agree with that assessment. I always use ext3 because I don't 
know any reason not to do so _on my systems,_ but OTOH I don't think a 
user who does make such a choice should then be left to (potentially) 
get a hosed system because they don't know (how) to avoid problems with 
grub.

If a sane workaround pending a permanent fix can be managed in time for 
Warty then I think that should be done.
