Maybe there is some fallback to a slower path when you do that. The

You're not out of luck though. After the installer copies the ext4
install image, anaconda could run "btrfs-convert /dev/foo" and give you
a btrfs file system. The user even has the option to roll-back to ext4
later (with the caveat of losing any btrfs changes).
Just a thought.
