Yes, but scrub was a a new command. Instead I see "replace" as an
extension of "btrfs device add/del" (from an user interface POV).

If someone would extend the "btrfs device delete" command to support
status/pause/resume, how could do it ?
May be we need a new series of command which handle the "background
process" (like btrfs replace, btrfs device delete, btrfs subvolume
delete....) to status/stop/suspend/resume these processes ?

I am doing a bit of brain-storming...
