   If 4.1.7 is working OK for you, stick with it. It's getting much
less important now, as btrfs matures, to keep up with the _very_
latest. Purely on gut feeling about issues we see on IRC and here,
3.19 or later would be reasonable at the moment.

   Compared to, say, 3 or 4 years ago when running late -rc kernels
was often preferable to running the latest stable, and things have
improved quite a bit. :)
