  Yeah, and which distros are shipping it? Using the newest upstream kernel is something you opt into, on non-production hardware. This isn't something that would impact a regular user.

    How many people would be using bcache in production fullstop, I'm guessing not many.

  It's been the official position for quite a while that kernel.org releases - even "stable" ones - are to be considered bleeding-edge, and for it to be the responsibility of distros to do the necessary cooking on behalf of users to avoid unleashing something raw on them. Long gone are the days of regular users being trusted (and being able to trust) to just grab the latest linux-2.0.36 tarball from there and upgrade by compiling themselves.
