Without John's trust I'm not taking this on.
Whatever path you and John decide on, I would very much like to see the
question of Which famfs driver do we merge? to be resolved for 7.4.
While it is reasonable to place limits on how long a series is pushed
out (I like to move with some speed myself.) we have two competing
implementations and that will have to play out. We should not merge an
fs just to finally merge _something_. The fact that this was more
contentious than usual doesn't imply we need to merge a version, doesn't
matter which one it is. That's a bad reason.
It's possible that you misunderstood me -- I'm not asking for one of the
famfses to be merged for 7.4, I'm asking for you as the vfs maintainer
to work with John (and Miklos) to choose which implementation survives,
and which one dies, before 7.4 goes out.
Yes, we were doing that for quite a while though and have tried to setup
meetings. David acting as mediator didn't just magically happen...
