Subject: Filesystem module autoprobe?

I thought that these days module autoprobe was pretty much taken care
of and that in the case of filesystems, an attempt to mount a
filesystem for which a module had not yet been loaded would result in
the kernel forking a modprobe on fs-xxx, which would use the module
aliases to match up an appropriate module and load it. So why is it
that when I try to mount an ext2 filesystem mount complains that
there's no such filesystem until I modprobe ext2?
