linux-nfs and linu-xfs both received those emails, there isn't some
secret game here:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-nfs&m=171976530216518&w=2
https://marc.info/?l=linux-xfs&m=171976530416523&w=2

I pivoted away from that (after Dave's helpful response) and back to
what I provided in most every revision of this patchset (with
different header and code revisions), most recent being patch 18 of
this v11 series: https://marc.info/?l=linux-nfs&m=171993773109538&w=2

And if spending the past 2 months discussing and developing in the
open is rushing things, I clearly need to slow down...

If only I had reason to think others were considering merging these
changes: https://marc.info/?l=linux-nfs&m=171942776105165&w=2

Ultimately I simply wanted to keep momentum up, I'm sure you can
relate to having a vision for phasing changes in without missing a
cycle. But happy to just continue working it into the 6.12
development window.

I'll be sure to cc linux-fsdevel on future revision(s).
