Ewww! That alone should disqualify btrfs as a default file system!

Why does a file system depend on the kernel page size? The kernel page size 
is an internal implementation detail of the kernel, whereas a file system 
ought to be a stable interchange format that is compatible across all 
machines.

It is unfortunate that this showstopper was not mentioned when the switch to 
btrfs by default was proposed.
