Going from R3 to R4 would require a reformat. To avoid that, they're going from R3 to ext3, which<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... requires a reformat if you're already using R3.

Yeah, right. Like a factor of 10 worse on file creation, and nearly twice as slow on file deletion. I really hate waiting for my computer. Why do so many developers seem to think performance is unimportant?
