Взгляд #Kent на всю ситуацию:

"Look, being in the kernel hasn't been good for bcachefs-the-project.

Sure, it's brought in more users, but the drama has kept other developers away, it's constantly freaking out funders, and it takes over the public discussion when I'd much rather be talking about the technical stuff and the cool things we're doing. Things are nice and calm and peaceful, and low drama, when Linus isn't causing problems.

Coincidence? I think not.

The drama has taken an enormous toll over the entire history that bcachefs has been upstream, so now I'm just happy to leave it all behind and focus on the code.

Being in the kernel is pointless if it means too many cooks in the kitchen screwing things up, derailing the project and adding nothing.

I'd rather have a smaller project, and do it well. It's still going to keep growing, because there's nothing else out there that can compete.

You guys who keep assuming that code is meaningless if it's not in the kernel are entirely missing the point. I had a real userbase before it was even merged, and now gauging by the number of people who keep asking when DKMS is going to be ready and even volunteering to help out and contributing code for that - I don't think it's actually going to hurt my userbase that much.

I'm worked my ass off to get this done, and I didn't do that just so I could have idiots who've never remotely worked on a modern filesystem and don't give a crap about making reliable filesystems screw this up.

Now, I'm going to get my nice calm and peaceful coding life back. I've had my backup plan in the works for a year now; I drove down to Colombia over the winter where I can live comfortably off just my Patreon in case I lose my funding, and I've got plenty of money in the bank besides that. I've spent a career making sure I can work independently, and it's worked out just fine.

So now, I get to spend the next few years doing nothing but finishing erasure coding, online fsck, failure domains, some really nice management tooling, and maybe if I'm lucky I'll get into send/recv too. And spending my time hiking and playing music when I'm not coding.

Without a care in the world, and answerable to no one"

Phoronix: Bcachefs Outlines Plans For Shipping As A DKMS Out-Of-Tree Kernel Module

With Linus Torvalds having recently marked Bcachefs as being "externally maintained" following ongoing disagreement over the generally accepted Linux kernel development practices…
