Can someone explain the bcachefs thing? The only I've been able to take away from this : There is a process for code submission so the code is tested against standards to make sure it doesn't break things which may take a while, but one guy bypasses that established process?
I've no way to determine if the guy submitting the code is so experienced and good at what he does that it shouldn't be an issue. But then again, anyone can make a mistake or typo once in a while.
Shrug, can't some folks that are tired of having to deal with old hardware simply fork and do a version that, while mainly staying in sync with Linux, drops the whole backward compatibility for anything older than 'x' generations of hardware? Then they can manage code submission any way they want?
