> We've been hearing that for five years now. Currently it's nowhere near feature-complete, progress is slow, and people are regularly losing data. I have a reasonably high degree of confidence that there will *never* be a day that it catches up to ZFS.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you. It's been "almost ready now" for longer than I can remember. Meanwhile, my first attempt at a btrfs filesystem (on a small, light use SSD in a media center type of system), managed to corrupt itself beyond repair under normal operating conditions.

(The system had never had an unclean shutdown either, so it's not like I can blame a power outage)

In an effort to push btrfs forward, the openSUSE 13.1 beta testing work will focus on btrfs. The SUSE btrfs team is discussing the disabling of unsafe features - with those disabled btrfs should be perfectly safe.
