I was very excited about RAID 6 capability and starting using it in 2013. I took all the necessary precautions, backups, etc. and never lost data. I waited and waited for it to be declared stable and followed the mailing list threads. Then the announcement came in July 2016 that RAID 5/6 was toxic and a year later, it's still not fixed. That was it for me and I switched to XFS and counted my blessings I wasn't burnt as some people have been. Then there was this: https://www.patreon.com/bcachefs and this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79fvDDPaIoY&t=18m28s I believe it's a good decision on Redhat's part. At some point you have to fish or cut bait.
