I have no relation to either Fedora or RH, but have gone through quite a bit of their mailing lists in the past few months. Fedora adopting btrfs has nothing to do with RHEL and they don't seem to be considering it at all. Red Hat threw all their weight behind XFS with advanced features being added mostly through separate layers (e.g. stratis).

I also have no relationship to RH other than as a user of their free stuff.

Yes when it became apparent that BTRFS was not ready RH did that. It was a slight surprise when it happened if I remember correctly.

I said RHEL v9 OR 10. I guess 9 is unlikely but 10 is a number of years off. If BTFS is a sucess on Fedora and stable then they will surely consider it. That is the point of Fedora...

I work for Red Hat but have no insight into any of the Stratis/Btrfs/etc stuff. I'm just a long time Fedora user.

I would agree with you. Fedora adopting stuff does not mean RHEL will include it, but if it's successful/popular on Fedora then Red Hat will surely be paying attention. RHEL tries to follow Fedora as closely as possible, I would imagine this is a shot for btrfs, but certainly no guarantee.
