    KO, the bcachefs dev, did things in the kernel in a way that caused quite a bit drama. But with time and after some push back, KO now has adapted to the development process (and no drama since then).

    Since it’s also fully experimental, it’s more harmful than beneficial to keep it in the kernel imo.

    Its experimental but its an fs, it doesn’t affect anyone who doesn’t want to use it. Many drivers are also mainlined in an experimental state and then slowly worked upstream (for e.g. the new nova nvidia gpus driver).

        😂 nonsense. Most of the drama came from the maintainers being foolish not the bcachefs devs.

        Bcachefs absolutely should be in the kernel atm and is making great progress due to being able to get burned in from the larger user base jow experimenting with it.
