I'm sure we can read/write ext4 filesystems

as for using it for the rootfs....
we're seriously looking at btrfs right now, the next generation linux filesystem.
If it holds up in basic testing, btrfs has many very attractive features that make things nice
in terms of snapshots ("restore to factory default" etc), data integrity, compression etc etc, not to mention
performance.
