True that, and yet the kernel has zero issues keeping Btrfs around even though it's been eating people data since 2010. Kent Overstreet sure is naive at times, but I just can't not sneer at the irony that an experimental filesystem is arguably better than a 15-years old one that's been in the Linux kernel for more than a decade.
honestly, it's mostly just a matter of trying to give myself the time to work with bugs as people hit them, and stage the rollout. I don't want clueless newbies running it until it's completely bulletproof.
