You'd think in that case BtrFS would be compiled in and not ext4. "Obviously" the kernel isn't modular!
On the contrary. The kernel is runtime modular.
Lacking an "irony" emoticon, I put the work 'obviously' in quotes. Mind you, since ext4 is compiled in I can't make it a module that I choose not to load. Oh wait! Yes, I can download the source and re-run configure and have a custom kernel that BtrFS compiled in and ext4 as a loadable. And do that again for every update and release ... Please, someone come up with an irony emoticon.
