<div dir="auto">Redhat was never a major contributor to btrfs.
The folks who are on btrfs like it and will continue fund
its development. We might see a btrfs v2 similar to ext3 and
ext4. But only time will tell. Please let's not equate red
hat with upstream kernel development. There are a lot of us
who are unrelated to red hat doing it as well.</div>

I was not trying to equate RH with BTRFS development but pointing
out that when a major distribution provider decides to drop a
project that they once included its a big hit for the project.<br>
