If these are highly automatable tests it might be possible, if they have the hardware. More likely I think it's that we need some ARM community folks to look at splitting up some of this work. I'm not sure yet what concerns the ARM group might have with XFS either as this hasn't been decided, but the Fedora Server product working group is slightly leaning toward XFS by default. Performance and CPU hit wise on x86_64, XFS seems to match up well with ext4 and maybe even a bit better ratio of throughput/CPUtime for booting workload (systemd is parallel!) so if were the same on ARM XFS could work out slightly better for them.
