This is unfortunate but not exactly surprising, I've quite liked bcachefs for its features but I swear every release has been accompanied by issues with Kent expecting exceptions to standard procedure be made for bcachefs. When you manage an open source project as big as Linux that's just not sustainable, and it's frustrating to see Kent not recognise why the onus is on him to make the necessary accommodations.

Also I agree with Linus that bcachefs is experimental and it's no extremely urgently to include the last fixes...

Ken overstreet:
I positively enjoy working with you - when you're not being a dick, but you can be genuinely impossible sometimes. A lot of times...
Where does he expect this to go?
"Oh, well in that case I guess you're part of the kernel again"
?
He seems like he has a savior complex. I don't blame the kernel maintainers for wanting to avoid working with him.

Probably Kent is doing a great job but a the same time his ego has become inflated, in a community project you need to follow the rules and don't break them.
