OK, forgot it's an opt-in feature, then it's less an impact.

But it can still sometimes be problematic.

E.g. if the user want to put some git code into one subvolume, while
export another subvolume through NFS.

Then the user has to opt-in, affecting the git subvolume to lose the
ability to determine subvolume boundary, right?
Totally naive question: is it be possible to treat different subvolumes
differently, and give the user some choice at subvolume creation time
how this new boundary should behave?

It seems like there are some conflicting priorities that can only be
resolved by someone who knows the intended use case.
