And what are we supposed to use in our /boot partition?

Since ext4 can mount ext2/3 normally, you would continue to use ext2/3 filesystems for grub compatibility, just mounted with an ext4 driver.

I imagine someone will eventually add support to grub for the new ext4-specific filesystem options.

grub2 boots off ext4 for me, extents and everything. Just did a tune2fs -l to be sure.
