BtrFS on 3.16 is a brave decision.
It bothers me that too much is Linux-only (or worse: Linux+x86-only) these days, making assumptions about the system that we just couldn't (and were forced to do it right) in the IRIX/Solaris/AIX days.
As someone who uses Linux, OSX, Homebrew (why, oh why?) and MacPorts daily, I can readily say we don't make our software as easily portable as we used to.
