The two most obvious questions are: 1) Why do you think that IBM storage engineers have any interesting comments about btrfs? Hint: if IBM is including a storage engineer in the discussion of a project, it's probably not a good usage case for btrfs. Storage engineers get involved when the right answer is Lustre, or IBM's GPFS, or SGI's CXFS, or large-scale offerings from EMC or NetApp, or similar over-the-top solutions. (Full disclosure: I work with those sorts of storage systems for a living, and everything mentioned in the previous paragraph is on the floor across the hall) 2) Why aren't the btrfs developers doing the talking themselves?
