If you mean the "needs_recovery" flag (EXT3_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_RECOVER),
the last version of the patch does with it "nicely", as it is added to
the set of "incompatible feature" flags to be ignored in the check. It's
not added to the list of supported incompatible features because true
support for recovery and replay is not implemented right now, but dirty
ext3 filesystems will still be mounted, even if it's risky without
having journal replay functionality. Ext4 filesystems, on the other
hand, will not, since the incompatible "extents" feature is neither in
the "supported" nor the "ignored" list.
