I think that encouraging everyone to convert their filesystems before the stock software supports it is a dangerous thing to do. I think stiffer warnings should accompany your recommendations for it.

Fair enough, and for the most part I agree with you. That is why most of the content on my info page is actually warnings about why a user may not want to use this software. There are benefits to running ext3 though and whether or not it is worth trying is the users decision. If the first response to anybody asking a question about it is always "go back to ext2" than nobody ever gets a chance to make up their own mind.

Also, I don't know how familiar you are with ext3, but it isn't really a "conversion" as much as an enhancement to ext2. The process of going back to ext2 is a one line command that does not result in data loss so if somebody does decide to try ext3 and then wants to go back to ext2 for whatever reason it isn't hard to do.
