You still don't understand the difference between new features and a bugfix? You're obviously very smart and at the same time you've shown a lack of social skills. If everyone can live with the rules and comply with Linus' orders except you, who's fault is it? I'm saying this in support of you: get your head out of your arse, take a break, vacation, party hard, hit a bong, relax, don't be at a computer for an entire day. I hope your social skills will have improved by then. If not, repeat the process and try new stuff out of your comfort zone.

Sounds strange, but there's more to life than sitting at a keyboard and monitor writing code and debugging it. Weird, right? I know. I've been doing that all my youth and then reality hit me. Can't say it was a bad thing.

You can't let Reddit guide your technical decisions.

The FS was marked experimental, so there is no urgency in fixing bugs or providing features in a certain cycle. Everyone using it knows what they got themselves into. You can still provide the DKMS module for faster fixes and features for anyone who wants to use BCacheFS more seriously for the time that the upstreaming process takes, but eventually it would have all been on mainline.

Asahi is taking a similar approach where they have their downstream kernel and push things upstream once they are mature.

That means the upstream kernel is not useful for running on that hardware now, but things are moving there eventually.

No urgency over fixing bugs? What do you think this is, btrfs? :)

All this has been discussed to death, we don't need people armchair quarterbacking a year later. It's over, it's time to move on.
