The title seems alarmist to me - and I suspect it is going to be
misconstrued. :-/
From the release notes at
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/7.4_Release_Notes/chap-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-7.4_Release_Notes-Deprecated_Functionality.html
"Btrfs has been deprecated
The Btrfs file system has been in Technology Preview state since the
initial release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Red Hat will not be
moving Btrfs to a fully supported feature and it will be removed in a
future major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
The Btrfs file system did receive numerous updates from the upstream in
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 and will remain available in the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7 series. However, this is the last planned update to
this feature.
Red Hat will continue to invest in future technologies to address the
use cases of our customers, specifically those related to snapshots,
compression, NVRAM, and ease of use. We encourage feedback through your
Red Hat representative on features and requirements you have for file
systems and storage technology."
