Re: [RFC] apfs: thoughts on upstreaming an out-of-tree module

[Dan Carpenter]

If you're going to do a major re-work it might be easier to do that first
before you upstream it.  Once it's in the kernel then you have to follow
all the rules like breaking your commits up into reviewable patches and
not breaking git bisect.  The rules are good for quality control but they
can be burdensome for people who want to move fast and break things.
