For anyone without an LWN sub (though it's a good idea!) the post is just digging into the details of how bcachefs is now in a position to be merged into the Linux kernel if Linus allows it, as well as some of the concerns about long term support given its complexity.
bcachefs was discussed recently on HN – https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35899527 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35899527 – and is a file system with COW, a GPL compatible license (licensing is an area where ZFS can be tricky, to put it lightly), and ext4 levels of performance.

- petercooper 3y agoI was expecting that to be the case, but when I opened a non-logged in browser and clicked it (just to test), it sent me to the LWN login screen, so it may have been updated since or I encountered a bug. It now appears to be okay!
