Oh so much disagreement with me on this. Oh well, down-vote away... Did you all read the ticket and the initial reasoning for dropping support for the file format on the external memory card? It was so they could support renaming it more easily. I'm not saying I don't care about the file format (actually I don't) what I'm saying generally is that usability should trump most everything else and Google gets it wrong again and again.

It amounts to maybe a dozen lines of bash code at maximum - maybe a few more if it's C++, depending on what abstractions already exist. I can't actually see where in the bug report it describes an issue that's specific to extfs?
