Is the btrfs a corner case? ;-)

It is OK do not let go it into the mainstream. After all the btrfs is less
performant than ext4 but it has a data corruption feature that cannot allow
corrupted data to be read. It might worth a consideration in some
fields/applications.

It has been designed just to be a transitional quick-patch.

Thanks for your opinion and feedback, R-
