I would say there are two main reasons:
1. There are a bunch of features that both users and administrators will find useful (depending on the feature)
2. If we don't make it default, the majority of people who know enough to change it likely will, making it harder to offer support to users and encouraging less-advanced users to fiddle with the partitioning configuration which they really shouldn't touch.
That is assuming it is in a state where the majority of people would change to it if they knew enough and knew how. I think we should wait to set it as the default until that is the case.
Why don´t make it default in Factory and see how the things will happens. When the majority will use it, we make it default if not, we stay at ext4. Why not?
Because there is no grub1 or grub2 support! That means for default openSUSE install its only good for data partitions.
How many factory users even have a separate /home etc. directory to test btrfs with. I know I tend to test factory in a VM with only one / filesystem and the default grub1 boot loader. So I can't test btrfs that way.
Greg I thought grub was patched last year. I'm running btrfs on an 11.3 desktop.
Correction. There are a number of issues as Jeff commented that will be resolved. Hopefully, this year. There are several teams working on this from each major distro. -- Cheers!
