I'm taking this, but only because bcachefs is new.

You need to be aware that the merge window is for *merging*. Not for
new development.

And almost all of the code here is new development.

What you send during the merge window is stuff that should all have
been ready *before* the merge window opened, not whatever random
changes you made during it.

Now, fixes happen any time, but for that argument to work they need to
be real fixes. Not "reorganize the code to make things easier to fix"
with the fix being something small on top of a big change.
