    No. It is the equivalent of a PC maker going “yeah. I don’t think we are going to put in a CD drive anymore because the DVD drive we have been including for years can do CDs as well”

      That is a great analogy.

      Linux can support ext2 two ways today: explicitly and as a side effect of ext4 support. All this change does is remove the explicit support.

      We can remove the explicit CD support provided by a dedicated drive because the DVD drive will provide it as a side-effect.
