Linus Torvalds has once again criticized the maintenance methods of Bcachefs in the main Linux kernel. The essence of his complaints is that Kent Overstreet, the author of Bcachefs, always sends many changes at the last moment before the release of each new pre-release version ('-RC'), and this time his changes led to a build failure of 6.12-RC1 on big-endian systems when Bcachefs is enabled, as the patches were only tested in Kent's local branch and were not reviewed by other contributors.
Ultimately, the pull request was accepted, but a discussion erupted regarding testing, continuous integration systems, and community interaction, in which several people noted that Kent clearly struggles with collaborating with other developers and always believes he is right, which creates issues for the project in the main kernel. Linus warned Kent that he is considering simply removing Bcachefs from the main kernel, as Kent continues to play alone in his sandbox, does not engage in collaborative work, and refuses to accept the community rules of engagement.
