I'm not sure what you mean by ext4 development but I would be really 
surprised if the kernel community stopped maintaining ext4 and the 
utilities for it. BTRFS still needs a fsck that can fix up the 
filesystem. Until that happens you're still going to be seeing ext4 as 
the main filesystem. I know there is a feature to move to a BTRFS 
default install FS but I still haven't heard word about the fsck utility 
yet.
