Hey guys!

Let me ask something here...

Does Canonical / Ubuntu have plans to kick apt/dpkg in favor of some kind
of "systemd install my-package"?

About BTRFS, it still can not be used to host KVM QCow2 images, neither
"/var/lib/mysql" directories... Since it lacks support for DIRECT_IO.

Cheers!
