Plans for BTRFS in Fedora

Given the slate of changes we have lined up for F16 anaconda
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Features), I don't know that
adding another major storage change is going to happen.  I think in
large part, we were hoping to be done with major storage changes for a
release or two and work on other less touched areas instead (like the
UI).

But, perhaps we can find some time somewhere.  Knowing what the scope of
changes looks like might help with the planning a bit.
