euuh that's nice but we're still running the kernel 4.15 !

Hey kyrios, according to their FAQ:

Do I have to keep my btrfs-progs at the same version as my kernel?

No.
If your btrfs-progs is newer than your kernel, then you may not be able to use some of the features that the btrfs-progs offers, because the kernel doesn't support them.
If your btrfs-progs is older than your kernel, then you may not be able to use some of the features that the kernel offers, because the btrfs-progs doesn't support them.
Other than that, there should be no restrictions on which versions work together.

If you run linux-lts instead of linux-current you also get the newer version, so I don't see a problem here.
