I'm sure he's very clever, but jesus fucking christ why can't he get his shit together?
I'm mad, because I was really looking forward to bachefs, but now I'm going to hold off. btrfs is great, and they've got their process under control. Call me when bcachefs switches maintainers and can follow the Kernel merge process. These last minute pushes are sketchy.
Sounds like you have issues maybe go touch some grass.
The problem has been tso and linus. Neither have technical issues with kent's work. They just cause drama over the entirely arbitrary timing of prs.
Kent has no issues with the merge process for mature and stable code. The disagreement is over the process for experimental code. Which if linus and tso stfu for a minute and thought about it they'd reallze kent, and literally every active user of bcachefs atm, is right.
Linus shouldnt have an opinion about the timing for bcachefs prs atm and if he wants to have an opinion he should stick to technical issues.
You'll notice how little drama there has been since the last nonsense caused by linus/tso/ and the peanut gallery like yourself. Just stfu and merge shit unless it somehow breaks builds or if someone actually notices a technical issue or if kent reaches outside of bcachefs' tree.
