I'd like to bring this topic now up again and yes I know this isn't the
last message about it :)

My Bugreport on Debian BTS about this is still open just retitele'd [0]

I really would like to have ext2.mod reject unknown INCOMPAT flags
instead of just failing to boot.
It happened to me again that I forgot that I hadn't updated grub2 on a
VM where I still prefer ext4 and with playing with grub-legacy I failed
to reming that it can't work aynway :)

Thanks again to Bean that for me ext4 still works fine, but for the
future I'd like to have grub-install failing instead of real grub on the
next (re)boot.

And thanks again to Robert, telling me in the report to message
grub-devel about it, it was the first step joining you :)
