Well, what is "distro default"? This is a messy topic; some things
*are* defaults in blivet, and apparently the default filesystem is ext4,
but for Fedora Server it's overridden. I'm honestly not sure a lot
of serious thought is put into those blivet defaults, it seems to me
to be a lot more like inertia.
I've attached an updated patch which links to the Server thread.
For us, the argument that it's the RHEL default also carries weight,
but for containers, it's what we test with the most downstream.
A good specific technical advantage XFS has over ext4 for this
use case (with overlayfs) is that inodes are dynamic, and when
you're doing containers you simply tend to have more filesystem
trees.

I updated the existing commit message, I think the "match Fedora Server"
rationale should cover it, right?
Rationale is sound. Patch LGTM for rawhide.
