This is actually kind of tame by Kent’s standards.
It’s a shame honestly. He seems smart but he doesn’t seem to realize that the linux kernel is not just for his “customers.” It’s literally for everyone. He seems to think he can make whatever changes and it’ll be fine (perhaps it will be) but doesn’t understand that the people using bcachefs are a tiny, tiny, tiny portion of overall Linux users who need stability in the kernel.
That and anyone using bcachefs 1) probably shouldn’t be holding so much data on it given how it changes and 2) should be able to build a kernel with the patches if needed because it’s experimental and…if you’re doing that you should know what you’re doing.
