Where's the need for an easy migration path? Such option wouldn't be
used by default and even if, people would need to change their
fstab/etc. anyway (ext->btrfs).
The note that things go away never really work out that easy... people
start to use it, rely on it... and sooner or later you have a situation
as with atime, that you basically never can get rid of it.
IMHO an alias here would be just ambiguous.
