Indeed.  In due time, btrfs will likely become the default filesystem for 
many distributions; this is the intention of the kernel developers, as far 
as I am aware.

The design and the layout makes a great deal of sense, and the 
capabilities, I think, are arguably the right direction for filesystems to 
be heading in.  Of course, only time will tell.
