Past Fedora kernel team statements officially recommended against
Btrfs. I think it would be weird to make Btrfs the default file
system, were that still the case. And one way to alleviate that, it
sounds like, is if there were a Btrfs developer on the Fedora kernel
team in some capacity, even if it is strictly Btrfs bugs. But I'm open
to other ideas.

And if it's just a case of release criteria violating Btrfs bugs
remaining blocker worthy, then I think it can go either way.

I'm on the fedora-kernel-btrfs@ since February, and also supposedly
get btrfs-progs bug notifications.  And I've been on linux-btrfs@
since early days, they know who I am, even though I can't code my way
out of a hat. They've always been responsive when I show them bugs I
can reproduce.
