Details

Description:
I think that many users are running btrfs as root in they system, and follow the arch philosophy of bleeding edge, and the fact that install base not install btrfs-tools nor nilfs-utils both needed for handle btrfs and nilfs filesystem that probably are you or my root partition I suggest move btrfs-tools and nilf-utils to base as part of the official filesystem supported
If you ask about the stability: Fedora have a todo list of using btrfs as default, Oracle linux (for server) ave support for it and Ubuntu have a todo list about root btrfs
Alongside the btrfs now have a fsck tool (I now that not is standard as any fsck-tool but is intentional, and the versioning number..I sure that they not update is in many more time

For other part grub support btrfs and nilfs, the last is designed for ssd and not need a fsck tool, probably user want use it for ssd no-trim supported

what you say about this proposal??
PD syslinux support btrfs and grub support both
This task depends upon

for the fsck for btrfs the equivalent is btrfsck and nilfs2 use snapshots and no ned a fsck tool, simply a roll back

this imply that these 2 already have the needed for inclusion in base, aditional many users intall in btrfs root and the base and base-devel not include those 2 neither as part of the group nor as a dep for any package, making they system non-good-funtional
