> It's a big loss if a user has to wait 3 months for a bugfix Either the bugfix is not serious and they can wait because the system is mature. Or, The fs is so unstable you shouldn't be pandering to the crowd that struggle with build deps and make install. There is no in between, this is the situation. And the "but not all bugs are equal" argument doesn't stand. I know if I read of a metadata but getting fixed in ext4 or ZFS there's a very small chance of this causing my platter to evaporate. By definition of stable, if that was happening it would be hitting that one unfortunate guy (<0.001% of users) running a weird OS or hardware and that's just the luck of the draw. If the fix is from a fs marked experimental, yes I kinda expect this could fry my data and hurt kittens. That's what experimental and stable mean. That means I expect up to 100% of users to be impacted under certain workflows or scenarios. Everything outside of this is wasted energy and arguing with the tide.
