Bcachefs lead developer Kent Overstreet published a Patreon post this evening entitled “Trouble in the kernel” where he explained:

"TLDR: the future of bcachefs in the kernel is uncertain, and lots of things aren’t looking good.

Linus has said he isn’t accepting my 6.13 pull request, per “an open issue with the CoC board”, and at this point I have no idea what’s going on with the CoC board. I, for my part, have felt for quite some time that there are issues about our culture and the way we do work that need to be raised, and that hasn’t been going anywhere - hence this post."

It appears that the source of this violation can be found in this Linux kernel mailing list thread.

Really can’t wait for the coc board to self destruct at this rate so we can get a better alternative to Linux already.

Get your head examined and enjoy your dying kernel. Adding politics that inherently go against foss philosophy is a bad idea, if you think you want to stay foss.

Yes, language like this is clearly unacceptable in a productive discussion.

Offtopic, but this reminded me that the Linux kernel has a CoC. Aren’t the recent comments by Linus on the removal of russian maintainers, where he called several kernel developers paid actors, a CoC violation as well? Or have these comments w.r.t. to the CoC already been discussed?

I heard on cachyos forums that the maintainer of bcachefs can be quirky.

quirky

From the little I’ve been reading Kent Overstreet just sounds like an incredibly arrogant developer with some talent.

It reeks of someone whose opinion of themselves exceeds their ability.

A little off-topic: anyone else read this as “BCA Chefs”, initially?

Almost universally, any time there’s a power vacuum (whether in the first larger-than-tribes societies, or in societies where state power has become weak), the first authority figures that fill the power vacuum are dicks

wielding real power, in ways that feel quite uncomfortable.

Yes, it’s called feeling guilty about others calling out your attitude. Most people who aren’t power seeking assholes experience that feeling regularly and have learned to deal with it.

Couples therapists say they can tell within a few minutes if a couple is worth working with or not: if it’s anger they’re displaying, then that’s something that can be worked through. If it’s dismissiveness, all hope is lost.

Imagine getting told by a couples therapist that they can’t see your relationship working out… And then you go on a big rant saying how you should still be together?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
