Warning: I'm just a ceph user and definitively non-expert user.

1. Personally, if you see the documentation, read a little the maling list
and/or IRC, it seems to me _clear_ that ext4 is not recommended even if the
opposite if mentioned sometimes (personally I don't use ext4 in my ceph
cluster, I use xfs as the doc says).

2. I'm not a ceph expert but I can imagine the monstrous work that represents
the development of a software such as ceph and I think it can be reasonable
sometimes to limit the work when it's possible.

So make ext4 deprecated seems to me reasonable. I think the comfort of the
users is important but, in a _long_ term, it seems to me important that the
developers can concentrate their work to important things.
