Seems plausible if older kernels don't understand skinny-metadata, that GRUB2 
won't either. So I just tested it with grub2-2.02-0.8.fc21 and it works. I'm 
surprised, actually.

The way I did this was creating a whole new fs with -Oskinny-metadata and using 
btrfs send receive to copy an existing system over. Kernel reports at boot time 
that the volume uses skinny extents.
