ext4 convert bugs, wiki warning?

ext4 convert bugs, wiki warning?

[Chris Murphy]

Does someone with wiki edit capability want to put up a warning about
btrfs-convert problems? I don't think it needs to be a lengthy write
up since the scope of the problem is not clear yet. But since there's
definitely reproduced problems that have been going on for some time
now maybe it'd be a good idea to put up a warning until this is more
stable?

I'm thinking of just a yellow warning "sidebar" like thing that maybe
just says there's been a regression and it's breaking file systems,
sometimes irreparably?

   You mean a warning like the very first sentence, in bold, that's
already on the wiki page?
