But the *second* extended file system is indeed often called ext2.

But the confusion really just points out that this help text is

It is called ext3 not ext2. This change is dubious (actually the big
problem is it is totally unclear what we are discussing the name of.
How about
Ext3 is the journalling versions of the second extended file system
(ext2). Ext2 was the former de-facto standard Linux file system. Ext3
uses the same on disk layout but with a journal.

I already posted a patch that read:
+ Ext3 is a journaling version of the Second extended fs
+ (or just ext2fs), the de facto standard Linux filesystem
+ (method to organize files on a storage device) for block
+ devices such as hard disk partitions.
I can resend with your version, though we have an almost perfect match
as far as the first clause goes. :)

Use ext2/ext3 consistently in Kconfig. Also clarify what fs versions the
