I think most times when this feature has been discussed it has been

I think the current text in the technical specification doesn't got deeper on the
subject partly
because we are all a little on the fence for at what time we feel confident enough about
btrfs to
dare propose it as the default filesystem for the desktop. I spoke with the btrfs
developer at Red Hat
during a conference on the US West Coast towards the end of last year, and he thought
that btrfs was
ready for the desktop usecase, although he was not ready to recommend it for server use
due to the
(small) risk of data corruption.
Sorry but I disagree here ... data corruption is not acceptable on a
desktop system either. A server usually
have multiple backups (if administered correctly) while a desktop most
of the time has none.
