That makes sense. Though btrfs is something users really shouldn't run
unless they get a heavily debugged and supported version from somewhere.
I'd also not mind just plain out dropping it completely, since I don't
believe any of our users runs it, they're all on XFS and will upconvert
to BlueStore.
That might be a good reasoning though: upgrading folks should be able to
get the OSDs on btrfs up (if they still have any) and go directly the
BlueStore, without having to first go via XFS.
