true enough: grub's ext3 support is relatively unstable for now, so if I 
use it I should be prepared to report problems and help debug them. 
Partly I just get confused (although patches are frequently discussed on 
the list) which patches have actually been applied to CVS, and whether 
any of the *known* issues are still known to be unfixed in CVS. (That 
is, I'm usually willing to be a tester, but it's generally not useful to 
anyone to test things that are known to be broken)
