Re: Why isn't F2FS support in the Kernel?

Yes, I looked at that bug report and the somewhat terse response.  I thought I'd post here first before I went the bugzilla route.

Based upon the information I discovered tonight it seems a bit puzzling it isn't included.  Seriously, Ubuntu includes it and we don't?
Google is using it for the Nexus 9?  The "experimental" rationale just doesn't hold weight - especially since we are allowing for
BTRFS Raid5/6; which is made out to be toxic.  If it's good enough for Google and ahem:  "Ubuntu" - it's beyond ridiculous we don't have it.

I was wanting to play around with F2FS about 6 months ago, found it
wasn't yet included in the F20 kernel (even though Fedora packages
f2fs-tools?).  I did a quick search and found some comments basically
saying it was under heavy development, stay away, etc. etc. so I kinda
forgot about it.

Today I see an article on Phoronix:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTg3MDQ

which wonders why Fedora doesn't ship it.  Then, it says Ubuntu and
other distributions are shipping it?  I then find out that the Nexus 9
tablet uses it as its default file system...

So, Ubuntu and other distributions ship it... Google is using it for
their latest tablets, yet Fedora says it isn't ready to ship?

Something isn't right.  I thought Fedora was suppose to be on the
leading edge.  Is this some sort of political thing with Redhat/Samsung?

Not much info at the old request: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=972446 but that would be the place to ask I would think.
