Bcachefs Maintainer Comments On The LKML While Waiting To See What Happens
We still don't know what's going to happen for Bcachefs in the Linux 6.17 kernel even with the merge window set to end on Sunday with the Linux 6.17-rc1 release
Either Linus Torvalds will drop it entirely from the Linux kernel source tree, guard it behind "BROKEN" or some other Kconfig knob to make it clear that it's not necessarily to the same standard/expectations as other areas of the kernel, put Bcachefs in "time-out" for a cycle or so like what happened in the past due to a CoC violation, or just give Kent another chance and try to proceed as normal... I would hope the user reports have finally silenced that for good; it has stabilized incredibly quickly for a modern filesystem. But the assertions about all the other people I've been pissed off have been very light on details and don't seem to mesh very well; they seem like more an attempt to keep long dead disputes alive than anything else.
