  This patch isn't integrated, any idea why ?

Because it does not cover all usecases.

    You have stated one of the use case here
     https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg49391.html

    which I have it implemented in these patches
      [PATCH 5/7] btrfs-progs: introduce framework version to features
      [PATCH 6/7] btrfs-progs: add -O comp= option for mkfs.btrfs
      [PATCH 7/7] btrfs-progs: add -O comp= option for btrfs-convert

    was their more ?

Yeah, it turned out there's more.

I've committed the preparatory
bits from branch where I've been working on that feature so we can
actually get to the hard parts.

  these patch set is a year old as well. are you planning to drop
  these patches ? the clarity is missing. IMO.

Preparatory bits are in patches:

  btrfs-progs: mkfs: add names of matching sysfs feature names
  btrfs-progs: mkfs: enhance feature table
  btrfs-progs: mkfs: extend mkfs features with compat, safe and default versions

 I don't seen these patches in the ML. Looks like it was integrated
 in 4.8.3.

the core work is not yet done.

The original usecase has been extended to allow for selecting features
that are compatible, ie. can be mounted, safe, ie. are ok wrt The
Status page, and default, ie. automatically selected by mkfs.

Additionally to
that, a system-wide preset from a config file in /etc.


 Certainly these patches could have been on (cleanup/enhancement)
 top of my patches which was sent a year back.



Thanks. Anand
