Context. Linux regrets it because bcachefs doesn't have same commitment to stability as Linux.

Kent wants to fix a bug with large PR

Linux doesn't want to merge and review PR that touches so many non-bcachefs things.

They're both right in a way. Kent wants bcachefs to be stable/work good, Linus wants Linux to be stable.

Edit: replied to wrong person. I agree with you.

Kent from bcachefs was just late in the cycle, somewhere in rc5. That was indeed too late for such a huge push of new code touching so many things.

There is some tension but there is no drama and implying so is annoying.

Bcachefs is going places, I think I’d already choose it over btrfs atm.
