Some apparently want consistency with the past. Some want
consistency in whatever way for test reasons. The only thing
consistent about all of this is that everyone has a different

I already explained the response I got in the email you replied

Reposting this to the desktop list:
Ric Wheeler (Red Hat's storage and filesystem lead) gave some details

I should note that he also recommends EXT4 for Workstation.
