In case someone wonders why bcachefs is sadly no longer part of the mainline kernel. Start reading here: <a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/1027289/" rel="nofollow">https://lwn.net/Articles/1027289/

  Is there any chance bcachefs will be included again in the future?

    If a professional and mature developer who understands a release cycle is willing to step up as a maintainer, yes.

    There's always one of two of you rabble going "You dared defy the kernel community! You dared defy Linus! Rabble rabble rabble!"
    Meanwhile, I no longer have to stress about whether I'll be about to get bugfixes out, actual users seem happy and my life is far better :)

    No. It's very simple. 1) do QA and follow the release cycle, 2) act like a person when interacting with other developers.
    If you fail to do both, you should not be surprised that people go through great lengths to not have to deal with you and all your nonsense.
    The fact that after all this time you still feel compelled to gaslight everyone with this victim mentality shows that you still have a long way to go to, and a lot of soul searching to do.

    The kernel doesn't have any kind of coherent testing strategy. That was a big part of the problem, because that means the subsystems that do test their code, like bcachefs, get stuck picking up the slack for the subsystems that don't.
    I was spending a lot of my time just doing QA for the rest of the kernel.
    You seem to just be painfully misinformed - or you're outright trolling.
