So there are a couple of issues with btrfs which I believe absolutely
must be fixed before it can become the default (both affect
virtualization, coincidentally):

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=863978
(data corruptor -- very serious IMHO, and it's been around for *months*)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689127
(performance problem with virtual machines)
