Yeah, agreed here. Everyone wants the latest shiniest thing, even if that thing isn't ready. I really don't want to wade through tons of bug reports for btrfs just because it has a lot of hype.

Also, right now cloud is plain old ext4. Let's see if we can ship *all* of the filesystems! It'll be fun!

Cloud could switch to XFS along with server. The main problem is that it'd make us revisit booting -- either 1) some work into lightening up grub2, 2) testing and possibly enhancing syslinux's xfs support, or 3) a separate /boot with a different filesystem. I don't really love any of those options.
