== Summary ==
RPM Copy on Write provides a better experience for Fedora Users as it
reduces the amount of I/O and offsets CPU cost of package
decompression. RPM Copy on Write uses reflinking capabilities in
btrfs, which is the default filesystem in Fedora 33.
I've been communicating with the maintainer of RPM on the pull request
and it's become clear that this likely depends on the creation of a
public, supportable API for RPM. This is not achievable within the
window for Fedora 34, so I'm withdrawing the change for Fedora 34 at
this time. I will continue to work on this, and expect to re-submit for
Fedora 35.
Just a reminder for those interested: I'm giving a talk at CentOS Dojo
on this topic on Friday at 17:00 CET[2]
