Josef Couldn't say it better:

Let's not be dramatic... I'm pretty sure Fedora Developers are not going to
make the Switch to BTRFS in F16 if it's not ready, that's why I sen't my
feedback
and little investigation, in order to help them track down the issues before
anything
gets released, that's why we work as community and I'm pretty sure that
everything is
gonna be Okey.

P.S. Now I'm in ext4, almost finished reinstalling my system ;)
