The article is purely speculation based on the anecdotal evidence of one IBM acquisition "victim", someone who has been an IBM insider from what seems like pre-acquisition. The rest are smears on the direction of Fedora for changing their default filesystem on their workstation variant, for developing (not replacing anything with) Silverblue - an "immutable OS". The claim that the Btrfs push came from Facebook is ridiculous. I know Fedora some community infra engineers and leaders personally. The Facebook developers were there in their capacity as Btrfs contributors to speak about its stability. They did use their @fb.com email unlike what the article suggests. Not that that matters. Here's the whole mailing list archive for that discussion: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/IOPR2R3SCKOFUCKPLMS4MDD5664SGQFR/ https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fe...
