I rather prefer the current setup to manually specify "ext4migrate"
a) Since ext4 isn't backward compatible to ext3.
b) users when interactively prompted with a message to choose between
ext4 and ext3, would most of the time choose ext4 because of the
higher number without knowing the facts.
There's something to be said for that, however I think hiding it in the
Anaconda options will virtually guarantee that most people, keen to try
out their shiny new F11, simply won't see it.
I tend regard Anaconda options as a last resort, e.g. for when your
machine won't boot the installer because of some video driver problem.
