ext3 doesn't need that either --- it's an optional occasional sanity
check.  "tune2fs -i0 -c0" to disable that. 

Fedora installers do that automatically for filesystems created in disk
druid.  If you run mke2fs manually, it tells you at the end of every
run:

        This filesystem will be automatically checked every 28 mounts or
        180 days, whichever comes first.  Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.

That notice is there for a reason. :-)
