Yes. I was aware (and surprised) of that. Is it to conclude that
migrations are no more supported upstream ?

The reason I considered exploring it again (and thus this bug report)
because in systemd's container management tool (systemd-nspawn and
machinectl), the backend used for storing the container images is btrfs
by default.

I had great hopes that perhaps the state of btrfs may have improved.
But unfortunately, no. :-(

First, I quickly ran into:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1327

And then, Marc Merlin's blog got me conclude it.

-Sleep-aka-Suspend-And-Btrfs-Scrub.html

It is more than a year old, but I have lesser confidence in it.
