I feel like it's 50/50 if that means that Bcachefs will be ejected from the kernel or if Linus is going to stop dealing with Kent somehow. I'm just not sure if Linus would leave Bcachefs people stranded on mainline? Hopefully this is for the best in any case; I'm very interested in seeing Bcachefs succeed, but the way Kent interacts with Linus is clearly getting in the way of productivity for everyone. If Bcachefs needs to go against the kernel schedule so often then it's probably not a good fit for mainline. Also, the way Kent continues to refuse humility even after this message really shows that this will never be resolved politely.

It's interesting how both of these guys who seems to both be firmly in the "don't break shit for the users" camp, and both are very adamant about quality of code in the kernel can't get along, saddens me a bit.

I'm excited about bcachefs, I'm even planning a migration from btrfs, but I need to battle test my offsite backup a bit more before having the guts to walk into bcachefs land.

Might wait for 6.18,6.19 or something and follow any future drama

If you can stomach Phoronix comments, around page 10 there are comments from Kent Overstreet and Theodore Ts'o.

Buckle up guys, we're getting a brand new drama soon.

The world sadly needs some of the stuff only antisocial nutters can provide. If the said nutter's gift to the world is good enough, the drama and discord that the nutter bequeaths will be forgotten and they will be given a free pass.

Hence the advice: never meet your heroes.
