FWIW, in previous discussion on the bug, I missed that your change only
applies if the /boot partition is on btrfs...that does make it a less
significant change that we might plausibly be able to take for final,
though it introduces a significant difference in behaviour
between /boot-on-btrfs and /boot-on-anything-else. I do wish pjones
would chime in soon.
