Rolf clarified this for me here, and out of band - thanks.

`blocks` looks like a great utility, but I'm not comfortable boasting that
Fedora offers it's functionality until `blocks` is formally packaged. I also
don't want to give the impression that existing block devices can't be
converted, but the integrity of the user's data is paramount. To that end, I've
added this admonition that I hope addresses everyone's concerns:

    <note>
      <title>Make backups!</title>
      <para>
    Always back up your data before making low level changes, such as migrating
to a bcache device. Until tools like <ulink
url="https://github.com/g2p/blocks">blocks</ulink> are packaged for Fedora,
users are advised to implement bcache by creating clean bcache devices and
populating thier filesystems from a recent backup.
      </para>
