I'm getting sick and > tired of this scheme. I just want to a word on EROFS stuff (I'm not suitable to comment on the current exfat implementation). Since EROFS stuff has been in staging tree for more than a year, anyone who wants to review it can review this filesystem at any time. EROFS is not just a homebrew or experimental fs for now, it has been widely used for many commerical smartphones, and we will upstream it to AOSP for more Android smartphones after it gets merged to upstream. I personally cc-ed you for a month, and I didn't get any objection from others (including Linus) for about 2 months. That isn't because of someone likes it, rather we cannot make no progress compared with some exist fs community because this is our love work. And it's self-contained driver at least, and it's disabled by default, It cannot be stayed in staging tree to do a lot of EROFS feature improvements itself forever (since it is cleaned enough). It has proven its validity as well. Thanks, Gao Xiang
