I am not sure btrfs is quite ready for production use yet, so not sure
why redhat ever supported doing so in the first place.

Actually reiserfs was terrible and very much not reliable.  It wouldn't
tell you when it had silently destroyed your file, so it looked OK for
a long time until you noticed.  Oh and the disaster of having a disk
image of a reiserfs filesytem in your filesystem if you tried to run
the repair tool was fun.
