Linus Torvalds Marks Bcachefs as Now 'Externally Maintained'

Linus Torvalds updated the kernel's MAINTAINERS file to mark Bcachefs as 'externally maintained,' signaling he won't accept new Bcachefs pull requests for now. 'MAINTAINERS: mark bcachefs externally maintained,' wrote Torvalds with the patch. 'As per many long discussion threads, public and private.'

'The Bcachefs code is still present in the mainline Linux kernel likely to prevent users from having any immediate fall-out in Bcachefs file-systems they may already be using, but it doesn't look like Linus Torvalds will be honoring any new Bcachefs pull requests in the near future,' adds Phoronix's Michael Larabel.
