 a bit late, I know, but going for it anyway...

 F10 currently has e2fsprogs-1.41.0; I'd like to include 1.41.1

 1.41.1 fixes a few things: yaboot FTBFS against 1.41.0, for one.  Also
 e2image has a fairly severe bug:

 {{{
 E2fsprogs 1.41.0 intrduced a bug in libext2fs which casued e2image and
 debugfs programs to not be able to read e2image files; the signed
 vs. unsigned bug in the code which read bitmaps from the e2image has
 been fixed.
 }}}


 there have also been several ext4-related fixes, such as resize support
 and more e2fsck fixes for ext4,
 and we'd like ext4 support to be as good as possible in this release.

 there are 2 fairly major behavior changes, though:

  * create the log in the middle (rather than the front) of the device
  * change the default directory hash from tea to half_md4

 I would revert these changes, or restrict them to ext4, so that we don't
 get these behavior
 changes on the default filesystem at the last minute.

 so ... vote away ... or I'll happily answer any questions about this,
 first ;)

 Thanks,
 -Eric
