It is only RHEL, but unfortunately that has a *huge* knock on effect
across hundreds of derivative distribution projects and products.
It's an enormous problem that they're doing this...
Hmmm, that sounds backwards to me. I would say it is more a problem
that Btrfs haven't reached a stability/trust level over so many years
which makes Enterprise Linux considering to use it. To me this more
indicates the overall state of Btrfs.
I certainly do hope that Btrfs development doesn't slow down by this,
rather that the pace gets improved and it will come back again in
stronger and more solid during a future RHEL 8 release.
