I note that the controversial block changes that got NAK'd but which
you tried to put into your first pull request are now removed from this
v2 pull request, thanks.

I also thought it was time to state more formally what's been
circulating around a few maintainers as shared knowledge: any tree you
send a pull request for that includes changes outside of bcachefs won't
be accepted by Linus.

We had a situation where the process clearly broke down in -block, and I
opted to let Linus make the call (knowing he'd already been CC'd on the
previous thread).
