XFS Adds Shared Data Extents For Linux 4.9

I didn't say "Hey everyone! Start using all the new xfs features!!!!"

so, your post should be interpreted like "now it is just eight years behind btrfs, nothing excited" ?
how does that compare to you quote "am looking forward, instead, to upcoming xfs changes (snapshots! data scrubbing! COW!)" ?

OK, I am genuinely confused as to why what I said is a problem.
Did you think I was being sarcastic?
To be quite clear: my post should be interpreted as saying that xfs has taken a very large step forward, and I'm looking forward to the future work which required this to land first.
