F2FS on the internal eMMC storage ?

Hi all,

I recently wondered if F2FS would be an improvement over other
filesystems on the flash-based eMMC internal device. I initially used
BTRFS because I was planning to repartition and add storage space to
the root FS (and I actually have 2 partitions making up / below BTRFS).
Now that the device works really well with recent kernels, I wondered
if it would be a good idea to re-partition and switch to F2FS, which :
* is aimed at exactly that kind of eMMC/Flash device
* is tuned to single fixed-size device
* is well tested on all the Android devices all around
* may improve over BTRFS (some app startup is really slow sometimes)

Did anyone try this ?
