Hello,
Does Clear Linux OS (Desktop/Server) support F2FS, especially as root
filesystem?
If not yet, by when can support be expected?
Thanks,

supported yes, rootfs no, unless you make an initrd using dracut

No changes planned here.
Would it at least be considered? Maybe as an option during installation!

the real question is "why"... what makes f2fs better ?

Looking around at some phoronix numbers it seems like f2fs (and xfs) have
some performance wins on ssds.

Wikipedia says it's limited to 16 TB in size. That's way too close to existing
SSDs and is easy to hit on a multi-drive system with LVM. Is that information
accurate?

(link to testing

I don't expect we'd want to enable f2fs by default but having it be an
option during install (with some validation for the above scenarios
you mentioned) seem reasonable. As far as I know the information on
size is accurate though (https://lwn.net/Articles/518988/).
