- Linus Torvalds removed Bcachefs code from the Linux 6.18 kernel.
- Bcachefs was marked 'externally maintained' in Linux 6.17, keeping existing code temporarily.
- The removal eliminates 117k lines of code to avoid version confusion.
- Users must now rely on DKMS kernel modules for Bcachefs support.
- Mainline kernel booting with Bcachefs is no longer possible.
