Oops! It appears you are correct. For some reason I remembered the
handbook suggesting to use ext4, but I must have imagined it. Attached
is a new version of the patch that just adds ext4 to the list of
suggested file systems, but keeps ext3 as the default.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Bring gentoo-x86-quickinstall in line with many of the
changes that have been made to the official handbook.
It would probably make sense down the line to turn this
into a 64 bit quickinstall guide, as that's rapidly
becoming the common denominator for new users. This
commit makes the following changes:
* Suggest using emerge-webrsync instead of downloading a portage
snapshot and unpacking.
* Recommend mounting /sys for grub2 and other bootloader users.
* Remove the unnecessary env-update after entering chroot.
* Add ext4 to filesystems. We can probably remove jfs and reiserfs
from this list to keep it less overwhelming, but thats a debate
for another day.
* Additional net interfaces should be symlinked to net.lo, not net.eth0, as
net.eth0 is itself a symlink to net.lo
