I think they won't, the German Wikipedia page says they will make it default in Fedora 17. Some weeks ago, it was stated that the fsk will be ready in some weeks: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org/msg11836.html Btrfs is very interesting, but no matter how good it is, I will definitely wait until a fsck utility is ready and tested before starting to use it.
