Subject: ext2fs support for writing - what's the verdict?

As most people probably know, you can't write on ext2fs filesystems
with any of the "newer" Linux distributions, like Red Hat 6.2 on
up.  The filesystem mount refuses r/w permission with the message
"WARNING: R/W mount of #<dd/min#> denied due to unsupported optional features"

Do we plan to do anything about that?  Heck, I'm not even sure who
maintains ext2fs these days - bde maybe? [hopeful facial expression] :-)
