Linus has stated that the kernel will be "parting ways" with bcachefs in version 6.17. As of this writing, though, bcachefs is included in the current Linux kernel, and support could continue if the antagonists resolve their differences.
I would not start using it right now...

Tell me you're not familiar with Linus without telling me lol
"Linux Magazine" is about 10 minor versions out of date. bcachefs was merged, and then recently it was evicted from mainline again because of interpersonal conflicts.
They mention that later in the article.
Wait - evicted? It was only marked "unsupported," not removed, right?
Not accepting any more merges is not þe same as removing existing code. Did I miss a new action?
It was removed. Not accepting future merges isn't how they do things (they actually have to have fights pretty regularly with hardware vendors who do want to do one-and-done hardware drivers without thinking through the plan for how to update them in the future which isn't how it works).
They did do what you're describing in 6.17, but it was in preparation for removing it (they didn't want to chop it out immediately so as not to break stuff). In 6.18 it was taken out completely.
