James you are an expert but not everyone is. This is not a venting

But that's not really relevant, is it? I would expect that
whatever I
do, even keeping both out of tree, the communities around the
solutions
would still exist and be vibrant, since they're out of tree now,
nothing
will have changed.
The problem that people do believe that the merged code is the best
code, so the being merged is an immediate HUGE advertisement. So, you
can't say if a code is inside the mainline tree or not isn't relevant.
This is the source of the questions from the SCST community. SCST is
at
the moment the best code. It's several years ahead any competitor.
SCST
has more functionality, SCST has more users, SCST has bigger
community,
SCST has more testing and, hence, stability, SCST has more support
from
storage vendors, etc. But for some reasons all those suddenly ignored
and a raw, pursuing SCST code preferred instead.
So, we want to know those reasons. SCST wasn't even really considered.
Isn't Linux anymore a place where the best code wins? Frankly, it
looks
like the decision was done under closed doors based on rather
political
reasons, like personal connections...

[Jack]Vote for SCST as a user and target driver developer based on
SCST.
SCST really do good job.
[dmeister] Vote for SCST. I am working with SCST to develop an user-
space target backend using the scst_user feature.
The functionality, the stability of SCST, and the wide range of target
drivers for SCST are really nice.
