    That the developer himself finds it absolutely necessary to push new code outside the window for upcoming versions of the kernel is a pretty good indication.

      That is a personality issue, not a code emergency.

      There were two dozen patches submitted for 6.17 that were never merged. What has the fall-out been? Where are all the stories about data loss? I am sure they would hit the front page.

      The file system can improve but it is already fine.

        True, but it is an indication that the developer cannot follow a common rules. Simply Torvalds was tired of how he behaved.

        And so ? A patch can be submitted but never merged, for whatever reason. Problem is: these two dozen patches were submitted during the -RC cycle ?

        Good. Now it it the developer that need to improve his attitude to work in teams.

        The fallout for people knowingly risking their data beta testing a filesystem that is still in experimental and some users running into issues and possibly corruption?

        There are no stories because it is not a story when a test environment for finding bugs fails and the bugs get fixed. Nobody with data they can not lose are putting it on bcachefs because why would they.

        Thanks for running a test environment though. Please take backups of anything important, just in case.
