Moreover take in consideration that RedHat and Fedora have different target: the former has a "conservative" target, which is more open to a more stable filesystem (like xfs or ext4) . The latter has a target more open to the innovation, even if it is less stable. Often Fedora seems to be the technology preview for RedHat. It can be viewed as test bench for feature which *could* be adopted in RedHat. If BTRFS will not satisfy the Fedora users, it can be dropped and RedHat will not take the risk of a "epic fail".
It has to be pointed out that In the meantime, RedHat started the development of stratis; however I think that if you requires to stratis features like quota+snapshot+lwn+shrinking of a volume+raid, you will ends to performance even slower than BTRFS. So I don't think that stratis is (nor will) be a full replacement of BTRFS.
What it is strange to me is that RedHat didn't pushed stratis on Fedora; this could be a good benchmark for this technology.
