Good luck dealing with user data the next time workstation (or any
other group) feels the / filesystem should change, once you've put
user
data on the same mount point
So for the avoidance of doubt: if the btrfs change is rejected, we are
almost certain to put everything on the same mount point. We haven't
approved this yet, but odds are very high IMO. The options we are
seriously considering for our default going forward are (a) btrfs, (b)
failing that, probably ext4 all one big partition without LVM, (c)
less-likely, maybe xfs all one big partition without LVM. This is being
discussed in https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/152
We have a high number of complaints from developers running out of
space on / with plenty of space left on /home (happens to me all the
time). The opposite scenario is a problem too. Separate mountpoints by
default is just not a good default, sorry. Ensuring users don't run out
of space due to bad partitioning is more important than keeping /home
during reinstall IMO. But with btrfs, then /home will just be a
subvolume so we can have our cake and eat it too.
