I'm not particularly pushing one way or the other for bcachefs to stay in; there are pros and cons either way. It'll be disruptive for it to be out, but if the alternative is disrupting process too much and driving Linus and I completely completely nuts, that's ok. Everyone please be patient. This is a 10+ year process, no one thing is make or break.
