   1. Agenda: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u5it1dXxem-DJ8gN9jn9z9y7g9Uliirac1oUWH3CqPY/edit (cmurf, 16:49:29)
   2. snapshotting and rollbacks could be useful for updates on workstation. (cmurf, 16:49:37)
   3. resource control via cgroupsv2 is valuable - btrfs provides IO isolation (cmurf, 16:49:45)
   4. compression extends lifetime of SSDs (cmurf, 16:50:01)
   5. most issues aren't btrfs itself, it discovers problems resulting from hardware (cmurf, 16:50:11)
   6. near term "do not care" mode to make recovery and degraded operations easier (cmurf, 16:50:29)
   7. 'df' 'du' mostly report correctly but don't know about compression, subvolumes behave mostly like directories (cmurf, 16:50:49)
   8. btrfs works fine with dm-crypt, native encryption is being worked on and live conversion is an expected feature (cmurf, 16:50:59)
   9. desktop experience, it just works, has a number of advantages, solves problems (cmurf, 16:51:25)
   10. Facebook can recommend btrfs by default, will be updating laptops/desktops this fall to use it (cmurf, 16:51:27)
