Do we have any pending Workstation features that are preconditioned on btrfs being usable? My understanding is that there's now nobody at Red Hat working on the kernel code, so I'm a bit concerned that we could end up in a situation where features are blocked indefinitely waiting for an upstream with little interest in desktop functionality.

Not for F21. I don't think for F22 either.
IIRC, the snapshot functionality was the primary btrfs feature that was in mind for Workstation to help with updates/rollbacks, etc.

It's a tech preview in RHEL 7. Someone at Red Hat is tasked with maintenance but upstream development is a different matter.
