I guess I just feel like if you’re manually configuring BTRFS you’ll either use it like a regular FS, or you’ll set it up to make use of the features in which case you’ll probably setup both automatic snapshots and cleanup. Possibly with auto scrubbing too. I don’t really see a situation where someone who manually opts to use it sets up snapshotting manually and then doesn’t setup any form of cleanup.
I’m not sure I see the urgency? Plenty of organizations in the US love free software, OSU wouldn’t be providing hosting if they didn’t. Additionally most of Europe isn’t exactly a bastion of privacy. There are certainly exceptions, notably Switzerland but the majority isn’t that much better if you ask me. I’m also not entirely sure how privacy is all that relevant to where websites and source code is hosted, these projects aren’t storing personal information. I think the important thing is that these projects are hosted and that funding is found. Where they’re hosted is mostly irrelevant.
