I think Zach was asking about the userspace tools, not the kernel
module. That link points to the kernel module integration branches,
and the link above that on the wiki page about btrfs-progs integration
hasn't had commits in the last 6 months, AFAICT.

I've been concerned about the status btrfs-progs maintenance myself.
I've seen quite a few obvious bugs about btrfs-progs on this list in
the past months—most of them with patches. However, I don't see them
enter any upstream git repositories.

Cheers,
