What is the action to take if a user installs btrfs in stable, finds a
"data loss" bug, and reports it as grave? "Sorry, although you installed
this from stable this software is experimental and you should've read
the description and anyway the bug you report does not happen in the
version in backports.org."?

That is moot because, should I change my opinion about btrfs, I'd let
btrfs-tools back.
