I'm in #fedora-qa right now, and I don't see anyone else in there.

Anyway, I've actually been using ext4 since F9, and I've never had a
problem.  I've actually done several of the test-cases in the course of
using ext4, with the exception of the LVM ones, and I've never had a
problem related to ext4.

I also use ext4 on two external hard drives, one is SATA while the other
is IDE, one through firewire (IDE) the other through USB (SATA), again,
no filesystem problems whatsoever.  I formatted them both through
gParted and through the command-line, and again, no problems.

I realize this isn't exactly test-case scenario, but I suppose I was
wondering if the tests might not need to be more nuanced...?
