Google Is Exploring Potentially Using Btrfs In Android

This would be so sick!! I'm really hoping some Google developers start implementing the new VFS encryption code to in btrfs. Last I heard the btrfs devs were thinking about writing their own encryption implementation.
because newer is always better!
because I like bcachefs author!
because btrfs ate my kittens!
because I say so!
(in case someone didn't get this, I'll add a /sarcasm here)
It ate your kittens? How dare Google be interested in something so evil!!11!1
Honestly though, I can imagine some people are swayed by what's been said about bcachefs, such as this faq entry on the bcachefs patreon page:
btrfs, which was supposed to be Linux's next generation COW filesystem - Linux's answer to zfs. Unfortunately, too much code was written too quickly without focusing on getting the core design correct first, and now it has too many design mistakes baked into the on disk format and an enormous, messy codebase - bigger that xfs. It's taken far too long to stabilize as well - poisoning the well for future filesystems because too many people were burned on btrfs, repeatedly (e.g. Fedora's tried to switch to btrfs multiple times and had to switch at the last minute, and server vendors who years ago hoped to one day roll out btrfs are now quietly migrating to xfs instead).
With that said, I've never seen either code base, nor have I used them, nor am an expert on FS's; so I can't tell if this statement actually holds water.
BUT btrfs was started by Oracle and currently developed by Facebook! So it must be the devil! /allthesarcasm
