There's work to be done that's not at all contingent on the kernel
team changing its rec.

Add Btrfs support to udisks (this was opened in 2010)
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26258

Wrong Disk size with btrfs
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708786

manages Btrfs multiple device volumes incorrectly, cannot umount
(obviously the above bug is still valid)
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87277

btrfs snapshot and subvolume support
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710156


The first two act as regressions if Btrfs is made default fs. The
third could corrupt the file system (it hasn't yet for me despite my
cruelty, but no file system enjoys being yanked before unmounted). The
fourth is more of a feature request.
