I am fine with something like what is proposed by Steve above - let users have
the GUI present an option that gives preference to the default without totally

You and Josef are sending mixed messages here: "btrfs is fine, but just
not ready to be the default" and "don't make it the default, but we
still need users to install it so it can get better, so don't take away
the option". I don't think that is reasonable - either it is ready to be
widely used, ie the default, or it isn't in which case it shouldn't
appear in the UI.
The combination of those requirements would seem to mean that only
the default filesystem may appear in the UI...
I'm pretty firmly against filesystem choice in the workstation
installer.
Ah! I guess that is how you feel. :)
We do need _some_ mechanism for willing users to test more cutting-edge
code on a real install, or everything besides the default may wither and
die, as nothing else can get any real-world exposure...

The nice thing about choice is that - even for users who don't want to test new
features - others can.
Making it not part of the normal drop down (hiding it in the custom
configuration menu) seems to be quite reasonable to me.
