To me btrfs goes to the same chapter as kmail. Once a good idea, but in the end unusable and one has to switch to alternatives.
Sadly, yes. part of what is a downer with Kmail is the Borg-like attitude of PIM-integration with ... What is it now? Baloo? Akonadi? That in turn drags in so much more. Perhaps if Kmail and Konq-as-web-browser had anything like the capabilities of Thunderbird and Firefox I'd be more sympathetic.

As I said, we may not have a choice. Any more than we had with KDE in the 3->4 Transition. Well OK, pressure there kept a version of "3" around and people stepped up to the plate to maintain it. The issue here is this: will disgust with BtrFS cause people to step up to the plate to maintain ReiserFS?

That ResierFS is surviving is a testimony to its excellent design and craftsmanship. If the same went into BtrFS, if Hans could have worked on it from his jail cell, perhaps ...
