I have seen your work and have some experience in kernel development. I think the situation is bad for everyone involved: you and linux. I would suggest trying to restart the conversation only focused on experimental feature changes.

In specific, I think there should be am effort to have a label (doesn't matter what one, hidden behind something like "icantbelieveitsnotbcachefs") where then you're (and not just you but anyone who wants to contribute changes to experimental features) allowed to push changes all the time.

That was already working for btrfs and will probably work for btrfs too.

Your argument about reducing feedback time can be a good argument in general. Yo shouldn't approach this as "im right allow me to push code, but start a different conversation about quick testing of experimental code with minimal friction. And make a case in general for linux to have this system.

There have been multiple attempts to mediate and refocus on just that.
