  Not really, not at that level. Take BTRFS: it was a technology preview in an earlier release of RHEL but it was later retracted. AFAIK they don't have enough internal people working on BTRFS, most of their filesystem people are XFS people. And since shipping btrfs would have meant supporting it for the next ~5-10 years (along with bugfix backports)... they decided to pull the plug.

    Redhat is still managed as geeky project, where you have tech wars. Sadly, I think that in few years IBM will make sure that only wars will be internal turf wars between different departments. Decision to drop something like btrfs will be based on which VP has better political game skills, and people working on it won’t have much saying in it. I’d love to be wrong tho, as redhat is one of the most important Linux project in the history, and it’ll be sad if it ends like that.
