If you want to use btrfs you can, or you can use Suse. We're finding and fixing things in our internal testing at Facebook, and the power fail testing stuff I added early this year has given me a lot of confidence in our ability to not lose all of your data due to some weird bug. In a few months we'll have switched over lots of our boxes onto btrfs so that will give us a pretty good way to keep track of stability in a production environment. After that I imagine it'll be good to go for Fedora, but that'll be somebody else's decision, I'm no longer super interested in driving anything in Fedora.
