  I don't really like this. I think it falls in the category "yes it 
would make things more consistent, but it's major API breakage that may 
make upgrading unnecessarily difficult". Peter decided to be more careful 
with that kind of changes, and rightly so.

  That said, I would like it if the resulting image would be called 
rootfs.ext3 instead of rootfs.ext2. However, the patch doesn't do that, 
and the infrastructure currently doesn't allow it. But we could redefine 
ROOTFS_TARGET:

define ROOTFS_TARGET
$(call ROOTFS_TARGET_INTERNAL,$(or $(2),$(1)),$(call UPPERCASE,$(1)))
endef

and then call it with

$(call ROOTFS_TARGET,ext2,ext$(BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_EXT2_GEN))


  It would also be useful to convert some of the boards to ext4.

  This rename is useful, though, and it shouldn't hurt anyone. If anyone 
is using it, it will be pretty clear what happened, and it wil draw their 
attention to the new features of genextfs.sh.

I'm not too fond of it either, but I'm more on the consistency line.

Work for another patch, then. I'll queue.

I am not able to decide whether a boards boot process would allow booting
off ext4, so I won't change the defconfigs.

And it would warrant a entry in the legacy section, too.

OK, I'm puzzled. 8-/

Peter, you agreed on both points, which are the opposites one of the other.
What should I conclude about this: do the change, or not do the change?

Huh, Arnout's first comment was about the defconfigs /
BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_EXT{2,} change, which we both dislike - And the 2nd
was about the fs/ renames which should be transparent to the user.

Unless I'm confused, atleast.

Ah, OK. So I drop the defocnfig changes, but keep the fs renames.

(Funny how I mis-understood the answer. And funny how I missed
this reply two days ago... :-( )
