so ext3 is completly broken? likes to deadlock? and is mostly untested?

ext4 is new. It was just declared stable. It is not. It has to prove itself to 
be stable in the next 6 to 12 month. Earlier than that it is not stable.

But if you look at all the problems reported on lkml you should come to the 
conclusion, that both ext3 and 4 are unstable. It is just wrong to pile new 
features unto an aging platform instead of making the cut, put one into 
maintanence mode and start from a clean state. Some did it. extX never did. 
With the bad results easily visible for everybody who wants to see.
