Red Hat Enterprise Linux excludes btrfs support in its distribution because Red Hat does not believe btrfs to be stable enough to be worth considering. That decision trickles down to recompilation projects that pretty much amount to "RHEL, but without having to pay for it".

And rightfully so, imo. btrfs is the only filesystem I've used where it's gotten so corrupted due to faulty memory on a computer that I had to recover the files and reinstall from scratch after replacing the memory (obviously not using btrfs the second time ..).
