libguestfs is designed to handle disk images of virtual machines and it makes sense to include at least support for common filesystems. You and I may not particularly like the filesystem, but btrfs is one of the more commonly used filesystems. See [1] for why the binary packages built from the libguestfs source packages are split the way they are right now. > There are systems which explicitly exclude btrfs from setup. I'm not sure I follow: Do you mean that some sort of policy forbids/prevents installation of anything btrfs-related?
