Great! How much does btrfs support increase the size of the various u-boot targets? If it grows too much, some platforms may have difficulting installing to their default locations. Weather this is an issue is probably platform-dependent, so might be tricky to enable globally. Would you consider taking this upstream? I'd prefer not to diverge too much from default configurations, though in some cases might consider it if it makes things more consistant across supported platforms on Debian. It might make sense to add to the list of features enabled when CONFIG_DISTRO_DEFAULT=y. live well, vagrant
