I'll note that we don't have consistency across all of the entries in
fs/Kconfig, not just ext2/ext3/ext4. If it were just up to me I'd
probably prefer:
Ext2 file system support (EXT2_FS) [N/m/y/?] n
Ext3 file system support (EXT3_FS) [N/m/y/?] n
Ext4 file system support (EXT4_FS) [N/m/y/?] (NEW) n
... but it might be worth looking at the other entries in fs/Kconfig
as well.
