I'm wondering, how do you actually want to define a "production
release" of a kernel module?
Does being part of an upstream kernel release (not in staging modules)
not qualify?
Because that's already the case, and has been for years. The
introduction of the btrfs module even predates all six currently
maintained LTS branches.

Hey Fabio,
No being part of an upstream kernel would be an important consideration for make a file
system available for use (see F2FS) but default status requires a higher level of
scrutiny. Many people appear to be going straight to the weeds on this proposal without
backing up and seeing the big picture. It's the classic can't see the forest for
the trees paradigm. Under Matt's leadership and repeating his words "we've
worked hard to get Fedora a reputation of being problem-free and something that leads
without being "bleeding edge". It's a tricky balance." I've posted
my concerns and will wait until when and if there is a FESCo ticket to formally submit
them.
