I know, but properly reviewing those patches requires reviewing their
usage in btrfs too. Plus the whole feature needs to be solid: if
there's a problem with it that's my problem too. And some problems,
e.g. any in the on-disk format, would be unfixable later, so we have to
get them right from the beginning.

I think the Sashiko reviews alone make it very clear that this needs
some more work. So if you're considering this to be ready and just
waiting for me, I don't think that's the best way to move this forwards.

That will be fine once it's ready.
