No, Kent, they are not. Posting attacks like this without evidence is cowardly and dishonest. I'm not going to tolerate these screeds from you about people I've worked with and respect without calling you out.

Every time you spew this toxicity, a chunk of bcachefs users reformat and walk away. Very soon, you'll have none left.
