Because the default configuration we're using isn't broken and is
better than the alternatives being evaluated.

That raises the question of why RHEL deprecated BTRFS and why Fedora now apparently believes that BTRFS is better than XFS?

And they're going to get into trouble with raid56 how? Are you going
to tell them they should convert to raid56? How is it even relevant?
 
That's not what I said ... in fact, no where in the paragraph did I mention raid56.  Re-read what I wrote. 
 
Literally none of this is correct.
 
Then BTRFS needs to clarify/correct their documentation.

I don't know. Why aren't you working on that? By all means put
together a competing proposal.

I'm working on what I'm working on.

<Sigh> That's an obvious dodge, Chris.  Stratis and XFS are Redhat projects.  Many times Fedora demos technologies for RHEL.
