Ultimately when id does become default I wonder what the situation will be
if you install clean for F11+ and make the / partition default formatted
to ext4, but there may be other pre-existing ext3 /opt or /home paritions that
have lots of files on which should not be formatted....
In that case is there a way to convert the ext3 to ext4 whilst retaining
all the pre-existing files? If not then would the system be happy having
ext4 / partition as well as co-existing ext3 /opt and /home partitions on
a single system?
