That is a great analogy.

Linux can support ext2 two ways today: explicitly and as a side effect of ext4 support. All this change does is remove the explicit support.

We can remove the explicit CD support provided by a dedicated drive because the DVD drive will provide it as a side-effect.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
