> But my core mission is just shipping a reliable trustworthy filesystem

You’re very successful at building the file system, but your attempt at shipping it appears to have largely failed. This is a tragic bummer.

Even if working with Linus is hard (and even if he is behaving irrationally), it’s what would’ve allowed you to get bcachefs in hundreds of millions of users’ hands. This seems worthy of a compromise considering all of the work that went into building it. Now almost nobody will be able to use it.
