Just to be clear: This is apparently unrelated to the (not that unusual) not-yet-accepted PRs and their lkml review discussions.

From Overstreet's Patreon post:

"The company that's been funding bcachefs for the past 6 years has, unfortunately, been hit by a business downturn - they've been affected by the strikes in the media production industry. As such, I'm now having to look for new funding.

This came pretty unexpectedly, and puts us in a bit of a bind; with the addition of Hunter (who's already doing great work), I'm stretched thin, without much of a buffer."

I was concerned that without this context some might assume this is a "sponsors pulling out" type situation.
