Fedora is harder to quantify because of the community aspect.  I can
say that there is nobody on the Fedora Engineering Team (which the
Fedora kernel team is a part of) that is working on btrfs upstream.
We do have Fedora contributors like Chris Murphy and others who have
been doing a lot of testing and bug reporting around btrfs for a while
though.

I have less insight as to broader Red Hat involvement.  Btrfs is a
tech preview in the RHEL7 Beta, so some level of participation is to
be expected.  How much that translates to upstream development is
unclear.
