    Based on Kent's reaction, I hope Linus kicks it out of the kernel for 6.13. I think it would be better for everyone involved.
    I fear that if it gets kicked out, it will never make it back in ...

      Isn't 6.12 going to be the longterm kernel for this year? I can't imagine the Bcachefs development model to properly work for longterm or even stable kernels. If Linus wants to remove the module from his tree, he should do it for 6.12 already so it does not end up as a liability in the longterm kernel.

        Perhaps you and 'erniv2' should get a room together? A project built by 2 people might have a better chance of surviving than a 1-person project. Just sayin.

          And you, who are you to judge people with these words? Show us some links to your life successes and contributions.

              So.. what is bcachefs appeal, considering 10+ other battle-tested filesystems supported in kernel already? Why would anyone write new filesystem these days and say "why don't you try to write filesystem" as if whole world was waiting in patience for it? Seriously.

                Meh, the project can go back anytime they meet the requirements. (BReenter when?) Probably with a different leadership/main contributors.

                  Ah so you're the one reiser4 user! *g*

                    Any update from the original discussion on the mailing list?

                      Filesystem kernel drama of the highest caliber is everything the doctor ordered for a slow Sunday !
