I have complete creation and testing of a patch which adds kickstart 
support for existing BTRFS subvolumes to be added to the /etc/fstab when 
it is created.  This patch includes having each existing subvolume 
specified using the UUID of it parent BTRFS volume.  The patches are 
available as part of bugzilla report:
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=892747

Each patch can be applied to anaconda in a git repository and used to 
create an updates disk for testing.  Therefore I haved created two 
versions of the patch: Fedora 19 with anaconda-19.30.13-1 and Fedora 
20-beta-TC2 with anaconda-20.22-1.  The updates disk for Fedora 20 was 
build on a Fedora 20 TC1+ hardware system and then tested installin on 
kvm virtuals with F20-beta-TC2+all-repos.

That is all I can say is ... it works.

I sure would like to see this in Fedora 20!!
