I doubt it.  BTW, you can get it from:

http://www.dsv.nl/~buytenh/ext2resize/

One issue that comes immediately to mind is the cache.  The resizing
would have to be done in kernel space - and this seems like bloat to me.
I don't know enough about the kernel to know how hard this would be to
implement.
