Yep, a lot of fun - three different file systems for free different products.
And we are back to the question how much these products could differ - with
limited resources we have right now - at least short term. Who can answer it
- filesystem/kernel guys, if they are able and willing to support all
I'm a kernel guy. We already ship all of these filesystems. People
already do installs with all of them. Really, it's more about what we
consider _sane_ as the default for most users that don't know the
difference, and not about shipping them in general.
potential filesystem, as David stated, it's possible in Anaconda
but again
the same question if the team would be able to maintain more filesystems
support with high bar in terms of quality (even for example brtfs limited
to bare minimum), QA... And it could be pretty confusing for users but that's
I don't think the support aspect is going to change much either way.
The only thing I see possibly happening is more focus on btrfs, but I
know my team isn't in a position to spend any significant amount of
time on that right now.
