If you´re adventurous, you can run OracleLinux with the Playground

No, I´m not running BTRFS but not because of lack of will, but due to lack
of enough hard drives to do RAID...

And no, this doesn´t specifically answer your questions, but might give you

When/if RHEL will include Kernel 3.14, I have no clue. I guess it will take
a lot of time... ;)
