There’s been some Friday night kernel drama on the Linux kernel mailing list… Linus Torvalds has expressed regrets for merging the Bcachefs file-system and an ensuing back-and-forth between the file-system maintainer.

This. Well said.
Kent is reasonable, and sees Linus’s need to keep order. I think he just pushes it sometimes, and doesn’t understand how problematic that can be.
That said - he has resubmitted an amended version of the patch, that doesn’t touch code outside of bcachefs, and is less than 1/3 the size.
