I'm not against adding new actual keys and items

actually need the other properties in the item you've created, so why not just a
btrfs.preferred_metadata property with the value stored in it, dropped into the
tree_root so it can be read on mount?
+1 from my side as well.
I have the need for this in a planned/future series and I'd be more than happy
if
someone else would've already implemented it so I can jump on the train there.
Same, hoping to encourage a grenade jumper,
