For Debian, I believe it's fair to characterize people running stable as relatively conservative. As such, a warning may be appropriate, but if they're actually /that/ conservative, is it needed, or will user's natural inclinations to filesystem conservatism be enough, and a btrfs warning thus look more serious than it is? I'd say warn, unless that warning /will/ be seen as "eat your babies" level, even when it's more "appropriate care and a regular backup program recommended." -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
