"Custom" partitioning actually already provides this path.

It would probably be helpful for everyone following this debate to grab
a VM and do a few test installs of a recent F21 nightly, so everyone's
clear on the UI we're actually debating.

When you go into custom partitioning in F21, there's a "create
partitions for me" option (as there was before), and there's now also
the 'filesystem type' dropdown box for that choice. So if you just want
to get a 'default' btrfs layout, you can go into custom partitioning,
change the dropdown to btrfs, hit 'create partitions for me', and you're
done (assuming you had some free space available).
