Respectfully to the maintainers:

How can this be a stable filesystem if parity is unstable and risks data loss?

How has this been allowed to happen?

It just seems so profoundly unserious to me.

[wtallis]

Does the whole filesystem need to be marked as unstable if it has a single experimental feature? Is any other filesystem held to that standard?

[nextaccountic]

Maybe this specific feature should be marked as unstable and default to disabled on most kernel builds unless you add something like btrfs.experimental=1 to the kernel line or something

[AaronFriel]

Parity support in multi-disk arrays is older than I am, it's a fairly standard feature. btrfs doesn't support this without data loss risks after 17 years of development.
