There are no plans. Possible solutions include:
* convertfs. See members.optusnet.com.au/clausen/ideas/convertfs.txt
* add direct support to either parted's resizer (hard) or e2fsprogs'
resizer (also hard).
* do some copying tricks to support an (expensive) move-the-start
operation. This is fairly hard to do efficiently and safely.
(Safe == recoverable corruption on power failure)
