This sounds like an awesome improvement to re-balance a filesystem with
newly added devices which don't have any data chunks yet. So in theory
for RAID6 I would simple need to execute

 btrfs balance start -dstripes=0..$devicecount-1 /filesystem


to have btrfs balance those chunks which are not spread across all
devices yet?
