[01:57] wow [01:57] 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 [01:57] [ Chapter 53. Deprecated Functionality ] - https://bit.ly/2vCNL3z [01:57] "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." [02:06] So I saw, odd. [02:35] ayup [02:36] so, a couple of things might be going on there. [02:36] some of the scuttlebut from hacker news and linux weekly news is just that Redhat doesn't have and can't get the personnel to commit to it long term. [02:37] one point of reference is that they are deep into XFS and XFS has grown a lot of features to keep it compelling. [02:37] eg, snapshots are on the way. [02:38] one also wonders whether Redhat will buy into the Eben Moglen/Canonical view on the question of the compatibility of ZFS and Linux. [02:39] The FSF and SFLC say there is a license conflict that keeps them from being shipped in binary form together. Moglen/Canonical say that's the letter of the licenses, but the spirit of the licenses is such that it's ok. [02:39] Yeah someone I was talking to uses XFS at work, and was telling me of some of the nice features. [02:39] XFS is also old, which is a nice thing in an FS. [02:40] In Jan/Feb of last year, the ZFS+Ubuntu stuff came out. There was some fur that flew. [02:41] It *may* just be incidental that Moglen left as FSF counsel last fall. [02:41] coincidental* [02:42] parallel to this you've got Linux lambasting SFLC for doing GPL compliance stuff (eg, the VMWare stuff). [02:50] s/Linux/Linus/ [02:50] dzho meant to say: parallel to this you've got Linus lambasting SFLC for doing GPL compliance stuff (eg, the VMWare stuff).
