The bcachefs maintainer has added new features during bugfix windows, and lied about it.
- pantalaimon 1y agoIt's still an experimental module, the feature was about gathering more debug information.
- yjftsjthsd-h 1y agoIf it's an experimental module, then it can surely wait for the next release; after all, nobody should be relying on code that's explicitly marked experimental.

If it’s so unstable that it urgently needs new features shipped regularly, I think it’s entirely legitimate that it has to live out of tree until it’s actually stable enough.
