There is no "average" Fedora system. There is also no "average" workload on the (non) average system (some people only use Firefox to access a few web sites, some run computational fluid dynamics-Monte Carlo simulations on $20K workstations with petabytes of disk storage). The FAANGs are valuable for having both real world experience at the extremes, and also the resources to dig deep when necessary, but while their experience is indicative, they are also not "average" use cases. I, personally, have within 10 feet of me in my residence systems using vfat, ext3/4, xfs, f2fs, jfs, btrfs, each of which were historically chosen/tuned for their *specific* use cases and requirements (although some of the systems, and/or the specific filesystems, are on their way out when I have a bit of time, but ENOTIME). However, those that are (self identified) advanced users (mostly those commenting here) should be sufficiently competent to choose what their created filesystems should be for a new install, based on their *specific* needs, so they, too, are not average use cases. What I think is important is what a new, initial, non-expert Fedora user will find the best experience. Conclusion (again, without substantial justification): And I accept that it is hard to challenge the reality that that is currently btrfs. I am in favor of the proposal.
