Not for this change, no. Part of the reason is that I didn't want to bite off more than I can chew, and part of it is that I want to explore some of the Btrfs-specific enhancements with seed images and the seed/sprout flow before I go down that road. There's some seriously cool opportunities there, but I want to actually try it before I propose it. :) We are, however, changing all the disk image deliverables to Btrfs (like the ARM ones), since that's how people wind up using it anyway. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
