How big a problem it is that in many cases this will be the already created ext3 disk and not ext4 depends I guess on how important consistency is to you (to me its pretty important).  Either way the change as it stands wont give all new vms an ext4 fs as intended,  so its flawed in that regard.

jogo brought this bug up in IRC today [1]. The bug report says that we 
should put in the Icehouse release notes that ext3 is going to be 
changed to ext4 in Juno but that never happened.  So question is, now 
that we're well into Kilo, what can be done about this now?  The thread 
here talks about doing more than just changing the default value like in 
the original change [2], but is someone willing to work on that?
