I would, but only in the context I framed it in.  Read-only disks, shared 
between z/VM guests (or I guess you could do it in LPARs.  Aiee!)  If you try 
to use ext3 in those situations, bad things happen.  Most often, ugly error 
messages in the system log when a system tries to write to the journal, or 
replay it, etc.
