Darrick nominated Chandan Babu of Oracle to handle release management for XFS
Oracle? 🤨 Oh boy...
As much as I despise Oracle and the lawn mower man known as Larry Ellison, I don't think this is a problem. Oracle also had a lot to do with btrfs, and while that filesystem has problems, they're not the sort of problems usually associated with Oracle (i.e. rapacious capitalistic practices like patent trolling and suing the fuck out of everyone all the time always). Oracle won't own XFS, it's owned by every single person who has ever contributed to that codebase.
The Linux team at Oracle are ok I think. Based on the blog post they made about the Red Hat debacle. Sounds like they are true Linux guys so it should be ok
