Still doesn't say that upstream development has stopped.

True enough.
But with Redhat voting with their feet it will make the uptake of BTRFS
much slower if at all.
Remember Reiserfs? I was a great filesystem at least for my use. Much
more reliable then the equivalent ext systems but non-technology related
issues killed it.
There may be an open GPL version of ZFS(Open ZFS).
There is bcachefs.
