Btrfs -- awesome, or... well, awesome?

[Jerry Feldman]

I had BTRFS installed on Fedora 19, but I deleted it because I
misconfigured it. For the past few years I have been using a RAID1 EXT4
configuration, but I also do several rsnapshot backups a day onto
another drive. I was thinking of reconfiguring the 2 drives that are
currently mirrored under RAID1 to a single BTRFS volume in August when
Fedora 21 is released. I'm just looking for a good reason NOT to use BTRFS.
