 |What a lot of people don't seem to understand is that file system

 |ext4 file system is roughly 71 kLOC (thousand lines of code) in the
 |kernel.  E2fsprogs is 340 kLOC.  In contrast, the btrfs kernel code is
 |145 kLOC (btrfs does have a lot more "sexy new features"), but its
 |btrfs-progs utilities is currently only 124 kLOC.

To be "fair" it must be said that btrfs usage almost requires
installation of e2fsprogs because only that ships chattr(1).
