I doubt that Suse will want to spend the resources required to keep Btrfs going. There's no market advantage to having it. I cant' see anyone one else stepping in to take over either. Suse will deprecate Btrfs at some time appropriate to their release cycle, and then gradually phase it out.
Given the way that technology is going, I suspect that the future is going to involve file systems that were designed specifically for flash storage. Rotating disk will be used more like tape and have file systems to suit that role.
