His reasons may not be perfect but he's right.
If you use a filesystem that isn't mainline and it breaks it's all on you to figure it out and fix it. Having used experimental filesystems before and been burned I would rather stick with what I know and won't change overnight.
I'll keep an eye open for new filesystems of course but if it's not mainline unless it's for personal hacking no.
