|  "Linux Filesystems in 2009"

You didn't mention ext4.

Fedora 11, released this week, defaults to ext4.

But: grub doesn't understand ext4, so (I think) they default to
creating a /boot partition of some other type.

Shades of System V release 4 on x86: that could not boot from their
default file system, so they had a special simple files system type
for /boot:  bfs.
