Probably yes, but i think the comment was also about why was it implemented that way in the first place, questioning the ability and quality of the corresponding developers or how it was possible to be introduced into the filesystem code, when everybody seems to know that this is horribly broken. Personally, i would understand if some developers tried a new approach on this raid5/6 and possibly come up with new and better solutions. I am wondering why it seems to be available in mainline. Why wasn't the patch/fork/branch rejected or why wasn't the option disabled or the code completely removed? I don't have btrfs installed but it sounds like this option is available in every btrfs release, although it is warned about to NOT USE IT. Why is it available in the first place?!
