the drama and controversies have kept developers away
well there you have it. i am not saying the drama is your fault because it really doesn't matter whose fault it is. regardless of who is causing drama, your only chance to reduce drama (and stress for you) is to deescalate. even if linus is causing the drama, actually especially if linus is causing the drama (we all know that he doesn't have the most agreeable personality) you need to do things his way and work to earn his trust.
others here in the comments ask you to recognize and admit you are wrong, but i'd say no, you don't have to. this is not a matter of who is right. that's completely besides the point. it's a matter of politics and diplomacy. agree to disagree and move on. that is what i hope you can recognize. to accept defeat of an argument even if you are right, and to avoid causing arguments in the first place. it's like marriage. if you want to keep the relationship, you need to defer until you earn their trust. but unlike marriage you can't ask others to join you in relationship counseling. you have to do all the relationship work yourself.
i am rooting for you, and i look forward to the day that i can use bcachefs myself.
btw: is there any goal to support in place conversion from ext4 like btrfs supports. (and maybe even from btrfs :-)
