Agreed, my plan was to take away the option for F15 (I sent the
anaconda patch already right?) and leave it as an optional thing for
at least 2 releases until we even begin to discuss setting it as
default.

Another criteria I have for making it default is I want grub support,
specifically grub2.  So until grub2 is in Fedora and we have btrfs
patches upstream in grub2 I have no intention of making it the default
in Fedora.  Thanks,

Josef
