Hi,
Call me stupid, but why do we absolutely have to have btrfs?
We don't need to have btrfs, it's your choice to use it or not. But there is no other CoW filesystem with all necessary features available for Linux today. But every other solution for snaphot and rollback has the same problems.
I mean I really do not know enough about what BTRFS can do and what it can't do to have any well funded opinion on that matter... but from following the mailing lists I am getting the feeling that one of the biggest "features" of btrfs is that it runs out of space quickly (snapshots) when people get lots of updates often (TW, Plasma, Gnome from OBS).
That's pretty old stuff and in most cases this is coming from a wrong setup (like people updating from openSUSE 13.x and having a wrong filesystem layout).
