Bcachefs Goes to "Externally Maintained"

The sad part, that despite the years of the development BTRS never reached the parity with ZFS. And yesterday's news "Josef Bacik who is a long-time Btrfs developer and active co-maintainer alongside David Sterba is leaving Meta. Additionally, he's also stepping back from Linux kernel development as his primary job." see https://www.phoronix.com/news/Josef-Bacik-Leaves-Meta

There is no 'modern' ZFS-like fs in Linux nowadays.

There's literally ZFS-on-linux and it works great. And yes, I will once again say Linus is completely wrong about ZFS and the multiple times he's spoken about it, it's abundantly clear he's never used it or bothered to spend any time researching its features and functionality.

Sometimes I wonder how someone so talented could be so wrong about ZFS, and it makes me wonder if his negative responses to ZFS discussions could be a way of creating plausible deniability in case Oracle's lawyers ever learn how to spell ZFS.

How many years has it been since Ubuntu started shipping ZFS, purportedly in violation of whatever legal fears the kernel team has? Four years? Five years?

I obviously have nothing like inside knowledge, but I assume the reason there have not been lawsuits over this, is that whoever could bring one (would it be only Oracle?) expects there are even-odds that they would lose? Thus the risk of setting an adverse precedent isn't worth the damages they might be awarded from suing Canonical?

It could be a long term strategy by Oracle to be able to sue IBM and other big companies distributing Linux with ZFS built in. If Oracle want people to use ZFS they can just relicense the code they have copyright on.
