Especially when OK is defined as: "should be safe to use, no known major
defficiencies" . "Should" raises a red flag with me, especially given the
history of BTRFS. Again, if we're going to be making something the DEFAULT, it should
have at least 1 production release. Where is it? I haven't been able to find one and
I've asked multiple people and the response has always ducked the issue or been
crickets.
I'm wondering, how do you actually want to define a "production
release" of a kernel module?
Does being part of an upstream kernel release (not in staging modules)
not qualify?
Because that's already the case, and has been for years. The
introduction of the btrfs module even predates all six currently
maintained LTS branches.
