Hi Alvin
That is not even close to a real characterization of the conversation. The point has been that losing a major distribution, and RH is a major distribution, just takes away from the momentum that a project may have. Take a look at Xen and its uptake outside Citrix once RH moved to KVM.
As I have mentioned countless times in this thread. Red Hat is not a major contributor to btrfs (and hasn't been for a while). If you want a big adoptee of btrfs, look at facebook. Please understand, by constantly going back to Red Hat, you are ensuring Open Source and the Linux Kernel get looked as a single company project. From what I can see on lwn, red hat hasn't even been a majority contributor to the kernel for a while. So, please stop spreading this bit that just because red hat has pulled support away from a project, it will die. The project will go away only when there are superior options. Thanks! Dhaval
