btrfs-tools version is largely irrelevant, it's a tiny C wrapper to
generate appropriate syscalls -- all the smarts are in the kernel
itself.

btrfs isn't stable.  When it is, you'll need that kernel (e.g. 2.6.38),
not just a new btrfs-tools userland.  So basically for production you
should just be waiting until 12.04 LTS.
