There was an official Fedora Feature page to make btrfs the default, written up by Josef Bacik, that we killed at the last minute since the repair tool was not ready.

Have a look at:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/F17BtrfsDefaultFs

The suggestion to make it the default was made by the btrfs people and will need a formal feature page (hopefully we will be able to leverage the old one to some extent).

With my QA hat one I would like to say the we ( the QA community ) would very much appreciate an whole development cycle dedicated to btrfs and related features strictly to do testing *before* we switch to it as the default filesystem for the coming years.

Which means F19 would be used to do testing along with the F20 development cycle and the "official" switch be made in F20. ( F19 experimental/testing, F20 official unless of course if we wind up lengthening the release cycle to say 9 months... )

And I would not be surprised if the documentation community would want to do that as well to properly document it and related features.

With lessons learned from this release cycle I also expect the distribution feature process to be completely different in F19 from what it has been in previous release cycles.
