Right.  The point I was making is that although btrfs has some *really*
nice use-cases, they are by and large places where IBM is *not* going
to engage one of their storage engineers. A "use btrfs" recommendation
is going to come from a different engineering group, and a "here's
how to tune btrfs" is probably going to come from somebody in their
Professional Services (at $200/hour and up).
