BcacheFS seems to have been released around ~2019 and it's still alpha?

One thing you don't want to fuck around with is your file system. It's one area of computing where conservatism is paramount.

    I think a filesystem is the kind of thing I'd expect to stay in alpha or beta a really long time 😅 I'm not the most technical linux user thought so maybe that is a long time, I dunno

    But like Wayland took ages to be usable. I wonder how long btrfs took to get out of unusable early stages...

    Edit: I didn't see that the dev had said its production ready.... I don't really buy that lol 😅
