FAT32 might be needed to access some boot loaders.
But no one uses ext2 or ext3 in prod anymore in linux. Besides, mounting 
that from OpenBSD would probably be even rarer. The only use I could see 
is someone dual booting linux and OpenBSD and wanting to use an 
antiquated filesystem to share data, with all the risks about data 
corruption.
