No objection, but a bit of a datapoint. I use btrfs on one of my
machines, and that filesystem (apparently) does not support
XATTR_PAX markings. So on every update I get some packages with
message like these:

Messages generated for package app-emulation/qemu-2.4.0.1 by process 2675 on 
20151013-150646 CEST:

Two things about this: the message is not really useful, unless I
know what -me does. Also, I never requested anything PaX-ish, I
just don't want to to have SUID binaries when I can avoid it.

By now the messages are just an annoyance/spam to me, but I
suspect this may be more of a problem for people who have lower
pain thresholds.

Regards,
Tobias

open a bug because this should work on btrfs.
