And yes, I have had ONE failure of btrfs and that was due to a power outage mid-update. It is very possible (though unfortunately impossible to prove or disprove) that if there was an fsck.btrfs in the initrd that it would have detected a dirty-shutdown and automatically run fsck and recovered the filesystem no problem. I could have also tried running btfsck from the live environment, but as I said...it was a brand new install, I didnt really care enough to bother trying to fix it, i just did a reinstall.
I agree that btrfs needs time to mature and grow before being fully marked as "Work environment stable." That being said, btrfs (on recent kernels) I do believe is "Home environment stable." So whether or not btrfs is "stable" really comes down to the environment at hand and your general guidelines for what is "stable."
