As someone who runs his work laptop with a 2.6.32 laptop and btrfs for 
/home I'll bite at this one - I've held off updating after reading the 
issues people were reporting on the list with newer kernels that did 
not appear to be present in 2.6.32 (indeed IIRC a particular problem 
from that time could only be solved at the time be remounting the 
filesystem with 2.6.32, at which point newer kernels could access it 
again).   It's served me very well, it "just works" (so far at least).

It's now sounding that 3.2 is probably stable enough for me to 
consider updating to the next KUbuntu release when it comes out.

NB:  Yes, I do make nightly backups, and no, I don't run the 
filesystem at anything close to even a quarter full (not that that 
guarantees anything, or is even particularly deliberate).

cheers,
Chris
