Linus, I'm not trying to say you can't have any say in bcachefs. Not at all. I positively enjoy working with you - when you're not being a dick, but you can be genuinely impossible sometimes. A lot of times... When bcachefs was getting merged, I got comments from another filesystem maintainer that were pretty much "great! we finally have a filesystem maintainer who can stand up to Linus!". And having been on the receiving end of a lot of venting from them about what was going on... And more that I won't get into... I don't want to be in that position. I'm just not going to have any sense of humour where user data integrity is concerned or making sure users have the bugfixes they need. Like I said - all I've been wanting is for you to tone it down and stop holding pull requests over my head as THE place to have that discussion. You have genuinely good ideas, and you're bloody sharp. It is FUN getting shit done with you when we're not battling. But you have to understand the constraints people are under. Not just myself.
