I think both of us are making a subjective judgement.  For myself, I
"want to believe" in btrfs, having championed immutable
state/wandering trees, and real databases for many years.

BUT I'm deeply unhappy about data corrupting bugs being effectively
ignored by upstream for months.  That's not good.
