by default we put ext4 on LVM
The tool works in this use-case unless something has broken it recently.
It can be done, the convert tool should work, and Btrfs should work on any
device mapper instance. However…
In the context of the default ext4+LVM layout the conversion still means separate /boot,
/, and /home file systems. A major benefit of the Btrfs layout is these are subvolumes,
which instead draw space from one volume pool. And that's lost with a conversion
strategy. It also means going from a Fedora "standard" layout to a distinctly
non-standard one because our Btrfs layout isn't like the result you'd get from what
you're talking about.

A question I have, forgive me if it seems stupid, is why not
just change the standard? From what I have seen is that btrfs is
superior to ext4 as even Theodore T'so (creator of ext4) said
btrfs "offers improvements in scalability, reliability, and ease
of management". I feel that eventually other filesystems may
show to be better than ext4 and we probably will need to change
the standards for the sake of quality. My fear is that we will
be sacrificing quality for not having too change much.
