At this point of time, I'm sorry to tell we can't :( Neither we will support 
ext4, nor, for example nfs4. ENOTIME ...
However, we accept patches :)) Actually, we'd be quite happy if the community 
contributed.

There is a wiki page covering partitioning redesign here: 
http://en.opensuse.org/UX/Partitioner
but that one covers almost exclusively user-interface aspect of the whole 
business and very technical information do not really fit there.

However, a new page describing some partitioner tips and tricks could be added 
and we could, for example, link it from partitioner help text
