That is a good point.  I've been using BTRFS Raid 6 across 6 1TB drives for
over a year now with (knock on wood) no issues.  I did this because of the
simplicity of setting up RAID under BTRFS and for me at least that is the
biggest attraction.  Maybe I'm mistaken, but there almost seemed (and still
is, IMO) an active discouragement for people to use this configuration.
You're not going to attract people to use and test something if you
simultaneously tell them it is toxic.  Also, you can't jump from don't use
it, it isn't safe to ok, let's make it the system default.
