they are just wrong because in production environments *virtually 
nobody* will jump to BTRFS that soon, not for upgraded and not for new 
installed systems, there will be a high percentage of admins stick at 
ext4 just because they know it, can handle it and it works

and much more important: BTRFS *currently* don't exist, not for serious 
environments because it's not finished and so declare anything which is 
production ready and everywhere in use as "legacy" and "not worth" is 
more than questionable
