lol. reasons never to use bcachefs or spend 1ms thinking about it ever again:
it's vibe coded.
yeah, a vibe coded Linux file system.
here's the "blog" of the lead dev's "AI assistant": https://poc.bcachefs.org/
i now have much more insight into bcachefs getting kicked out of the kernel
EDIT: my fucking god what an incredible post this is https://www.reddit.com/r/bcachefs/comments/1rblll1/the_blog_of_an_llm_saying_its_owned_by_kent_and/o6tmlib/
As of 6.18, bcachefs is no longer being distributed with the kernel, for reasons too complicated to go into here.
(But it might have something to do with QA).
What could it mean i wonder :')

Okay apparently they were pushing big features last minutes in merge windows ; experimenting a bit too loosely in the wrong moments ; showing themselves kinda unpredictable and not respectful of the mainline timing and guidelines
see one late PR : https://lwn.net/ml/all/CAHk-=wi2ae794_[email protected]/
That get accepted at the price of splitting with kernel : https://lwn.net/ml/all/CAHk-=wi+k8E4kW[email protected]/
