Why couldn’t it be 6.7, which has bcachefs?

It’s initial bcachefs anyway, which doesn’t support all features yet and still needs a lot of work. I wouldn’t run bcachefs yet on any system where an LTS kernel is necessary.

What is the use case for bcachefs? ZFS exists and btrfs if you need to froth over licencing

Faster or something. I am personally peeved they took the tiered storage thing out of it because in my eyes that was it’s claim to fame

typically it’s based on the last kernel release of the year which gets promoted to LTS, not because of certain features
