Title:
  add btrfs instability warning to installation routine

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The Ubuntu installer (e.g. in live session) offers to format partition
  with btrfs, setup mount points and even install on it. Regarding the
  still unstable state of btrfs, especially with kernels of the current
  latest version (14.10 with 3.16.x) and the latest LTS (14.04 with
  3.13.x), the user has to be warned when any action involving btrfs
  take place during installation. The probability that he_she has read
  something regarding the great performance of btrfs without a hint
  about its instability is much too high in relation to the cost of
  putting such a warning in place.
