IMHO, anybody willing using a file system marked as experimental from a downstream kernel should be able to wait for the fix. If they need it faster they should be ready to compile their own kernel or seriously reevaluate their decision to adopt the FS. The Kernel's pace is predictable, even billion $ corporates can live with it, and it's not like Linus hasn't accommodated you in the past. But continuing to do so will make people stop believing you are acting in good faith, and the outcome of that will be predictable. This is simply how the development model is like in the Linux kernel. Exceptions happen, but they sometimes backfire and highlight why the rules matter in the first place, and therefore they are unlikely to change.
