As I said earlier when I brought up the kernel stance on this, I very much consider this a Workstation WG decision. If the Workstation WG can not come to a consensus, I don't think it should be on FESCo to force one. It is not like what is there now is broken. Going from EXT4 to BTRFS or any other file system is a series of trade offs. You gain some features, you lose some features. I would recommend that FESCo not take this up until the Workstation WG can come to a consensus.
