That is incorrect.  It does work on ext3 and has worked since beta 1.
The problem is that it doesn't work quite the way you think it does.  A
regular user cannot view his own quota usage.  This is due to a shift in
kernel theory, the shift being to move "policy" out of the kernel and
into userland.  The kernel only supports enforcement of that policy
and not manipulation of that policy.

Quota is not supported for Reiserfs though.  A few versions back it was
supported, but that was a patch added by Mandrake which is no longer
being applied.
