I'm puzzled as to why it's called "stable," while at the same time it appears to require btrfs-on-root to be useful (i.e. for hosting Docker containers) but that part is "experimental."
I've seen a talk by someone from Suse. He had a two part sentence.
The first part was: btrfs is good and stable (paraphrasing)
The second part was: when used with a single device
So that means something like RAID1 on 2 disks is a still a bad idea.
The way CoreOS ends up using btrfs is also on single devices I believe.

Can someone from CoreOS clarify?
Didn't (Open)Suse also use btrfs by default ?

Where is it marked experimental on the website? Almost certainly a mistake.
He's talking about the PXE kernel option specifically: http://coreos.com/docs/running-coreos/bare-metal/booting-wit...
