I think ext4dev made more sense for ext4 because people generally expect ext* to be stable. Btrfs doesn't quite have the reputation for stability yet, so I don't feel we need a special -dev name for it. But, if Andrew/Linus prefer that unstable filesystems are tagged with -dev, I'm happy to do it. -chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
