ext2fs patch is much more important, because it needs little to get 
upstream in the Hurd.  (Unfortunately, it requires too much time for 
testing.)

ext3fs is kind of experimental, still in alpha stage, and users won't 
benefit from it soon.  For some reasons I'm totally forced to finish 
ext3fs (even in buggy state) as quickly as possible.  This is my diplom 
thesis, and if things continue to go at this rate, I'll have to change 
it :-(
