Yep, I see I'm merely stating what is already known, sorry about that.

No, please; you are really raising the attention to an hot point of
btrfs. Its capability of working when a disk is failed is not enough.
For example it is impossible to remove a disk which disappeared (I have
umount the filesystem, then mount it in degraded mode)...

Btrfs is a filesystem in development, so it is OK that not everything is
working. The "complaints" raise the attention level.
