No. Red Hat has *zero* engineers that work on Btrfs. That's the real reason for this. If Red Hat *really* wanted it, they would have got someone to work on it specifically to accelerate the stabilization of the filesystem code for the next RHEL. That *never* happened since Josef Bacik left Red Hat for Facebook years ago. Josef still works on Btrfs there, just for Facebook instead of Red Hat. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
