So we have only 1 disk.  There is 1 btrfs partition, but root and home are 2
different btrfs subvolumes.  This is a good setup IMO, since I can reinstall
the OS without touching home.

I recently got a laptop and did F21 install using btrfs, and I believe I
used automatic partitioning.  This time, I got just 1 btrfs subvol with home
as a subdir, which does not offer the flexibility.

I suggest the default for btrfs should be as shown above, with home on a
separate subvol.



This has not been changed intentionally. If it has indeed changed you
should file a bug including the logs from installation, which are in
/tmp during installation and in /var/log/anaconda afterwards.

Thanks,
David
