freebsd stable - Apr 2009 - mount_ext2fs in 7-STABLE?

Hi,

I noticed that mount_ext2 isn't "connected" to the normal
"buildworld"
but sys/*/ext2fs seems to.

Building and using it from recent RELENG_7 sources works for me (having
ext2fs loaded as module in GENERIC). I mounted an ext3 rw, edited
grub's menu.lst, wrote and umounted without any problems.

It seems recent bugs got pathched in January
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=131024)

Is there a good reason NOT to use ext2fs in 7.2-PRE?

BTW: dmesg conseals the Linux-partitions (hda5, hda6 alias /dev/ad0s5 and 
/dev/ad0s6) residing in a "DOS Extended" partition (/dev/ad0s3). 
Shouldn't
there be a notice about the mapped ad0s5 and ad0s6? 

BTW2: shouldn't the mapped by label to /dev/ext2fs/foo like
/dev/ntfs/bar or /dev/msdosfs/baz ? 

Regards
Raphael

Looks like  src/sbin/Makefile, rev1.164 was disconnected mount_ext2fs
from the build
to replace with single mount, and mount -t ext2fs is not still implemented.
I see ext2fs in remountable_fs_names[], but don't in const char *fs[]
in use_mountprog().
