Well, if it is not difficult I guess it should be done. Not only btrfs has some options to enable optimizations in flash devices, it also allows filesystem compression which results in faster IO (transferring big files takes longer than compressing/uncompressing and transferring small files) and bigger capacity. Search for "flash" in this page for more details.

But btrfs has been in huge development, do you really think it wouldn't be difficult to backport?
