Each filesystem has its own use-case. Like XFS is for big data, btrfs with its COW and other features meets some specific use-cases like facebook where they have a scenario(refer http://lwn.net/Articles/591780/ ) where btrfs suites then perfectly.
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).
