Honestly, I am siding with Linus here. Mainline is not the place for last minute changes without testing. And it seems Kent isn't going to change his methods, etc. That and the retort was pretty disrespectful.

I have high hopes bcachefs can be something great but... At its current rate it's going to flame out before reaching its potential.

Super disrespectful! Is he seriously big-timing Linus?

Really, the big-timing of anyone should be a red flag. And I'm sure people are pretty cool who haven't built filesystems yet. I've never met Linus but I really appreciate his gatekeeping.

The guy's not playing well, like the systemd kids, and it's totally okay to not have it in mainline.
