That's because this is not an engineering problem, it's a communication problem. You just piss
people off for no good reason. Then people get tired of dealing with you and now we're here,
with Linus thinking about `git rm -rf fs/bcachesfs`. Will your users be happy? Probably not.
Will your sponsors be happy? Probably not either. Then why are you keep doing this?

If you really want to change the way things work go see a therapist. A competent enough doctor
probably can fix all that in a couple of months.
