I'm just a user, but please allow me to chime in with my 2 cts: Linux is much better and more useful to more users WITH bcachefs included than it would be without it. Throwing it out or even only freezing it would hurt Linux users, only to please Linus' ego for a short amount of time. I don't think that's a good trade-off, and that certainly (IMHO) would be a very bad decision. Also, it would be a big violation of the promise to not break userspace. How could you possibly break userspace more than by needlessly throwing out a much needed filesystem that is in active use? Of course, Kent has, to some extent, not quite adhered to the letter of the process, but as I see it, he did so only to show responsibility towards his users, and this is a good thing. We should wish for all developers and maintainers to have this much sense of responsibility. We need people who care, and not just bureaucratically follow a strict process that in this case was not designed to handle the criticality of the situation for the affected users. Linus, long time ago, in a Google talk about (then new) SCM tool git, you said that a distributed workflow is all about respecting other people's decisions, even if sometimes you don't fully agree with them. Kent's pull request in the last cycle which is the source of this quarrel is one you could and should, in hindsight, have respected as Kent's responsible decision! So Linus, may I humbly ask you to please merge! Beste Grüße, Peter Schneider -- Climb the mountain not to plant your flag, but to embrace the challenge, enjoy the air and behold the view.
