That sounds like a hang-over from too many years use of the mdadm command and more recently such as the sgdisk command... ;-) Myself, I like the btrfs way to specify the list of parameters and then they all then get applied as a whole. The one bugbear at the moment is that for using multiple disks: Any actions seem to be applied to the list of devices in sequence one-by-one. There's no apparent intelligence to consider "present pool" -> "new pool" of devices as a whole. More development!
