Please let us know when this will be pushed to the kernel, do you have
any thoughts on the planning of this?
As a bcache-tools packager for Fedora I think I should add some package
dependencies which prevent users from accidentally upgrading to that
(breaking) version in the future.
It may also affect other tools like util-linux:
https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/blob/master/libblkid/src/superblocks/bcache.c
Furthermore I think I should postpone integration of bcache in the
Fedora installer until further notice:

Any information in advance is appreciated.

Yes, correct. The on disk format changes in bcache-dev are just too
deep to feasibly write backwards compat code, unfortunately. And the
on disk format is still in flux - for just a bit longer hopefully
though, right now I'm working on a pretty major revamp that's getting
close to done (self describing and packed metadata). This revamp is
making the on disk format _much_ more flexible though, and cleaning up
a lot of stuff at the same time.
