So with the recent drama it looks like bcachefs isn’t going to stay in the kernel for too long. What do I do now? I have my root filesystem as bcachefs on multiple devices. Is it possible to migrate to btrfs or ext4?

    Currently, there’s no serious discussion about removal from mainline. And LTS won’t remove it.

    Should it happen, you can still use Kent’s kernel tree as before. Whether distributions ship it - who knows.

    If there’s no mainline or dkms support, I’ll move my storage away from it in favor of btrfs that I’ve successfully used the years before instead of switching to LTS. Just because of future maintainability and migration options.
