Sounds like a good plan to me.

Remove the need for the command line option for F15+

Gather feedback for F15 and F16

Consider switching the default to BTRFS in F17.

*DE could consider switching the default to use EXT4 directly without 
LVM. [1]

I would think that users would love to experience the work that Theodore 
Tso has been doing [2] and what better way is it for them to do other 
then experiencing it first hand in F15 when it goes out the door..
