I made the leap to a btrfs root partition for my netbook with a

Everything seems to work fine and I have done some fair amount of
Googling for information and come across
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Getting_started which offers
some great (incomplete) info but nothing Fedora specific. I have some
questions about how to move forward to take advantage of btrfs:
1) Is there any kind of integration of btrfs with the included apps
(For example: automatic snapshots before yum updates allowing easy
rollbacks, deja dup backing up a btrfs snapshot so that currently
changing data doesn't affect the backup process, a kiosk mode that
rolls back a home directory to a known state after logout, etc.) or is
that the next step to take advantage of all the new bells and whistles
and F15 is just a test-btrfs-as-a-ext4-replacement release?

2) I see (using 'mount') that the root is btrfs along with
some (what
appear to be) subvolumes for /tmp, /var/tmp and /home yet 'btrfs
device scan' shows no information. Does 'btrfs device scan' only scan
unmounted devices or is this a bug?
Potentially. Might post in their mailing list or report it in bugzilla
and check.
[Snipped the other questions I have no idea about]
