#2Damn. I was enjoying not having to deal with the fun of ZFS and DKMS, but it seems like now bcachefs will be in the same boat, either dealing with DKMS and occasional breakage or sticking with the kernel version that slowly gets more and more out of date.

#6It's orphaned in Debian as well, but I'm not sure what significant advantages it has over btrfs, which is very stable these days.

#9Is it just me or does Kent seem self-destructively glued to his own idea of how kernel development should work?
I don’t doubt that people on all sides have made mis-steps, but from the outside it mostly just seems like Kent doesn’t want to play by the rules (despite having been given years of patience).

Could you be more specific about where you think the brain rot is? I thought the issues regarding bcachefs and Linux kernel development revolved around respecting conventions for code freezes and release candidates. It seemed more about getting along socially than technical objections to the technology.
