Isnt this whole episode highly hypocritic to begin with?

Might be, but that's not relevant to GFS2's suitability.

it is relevant to a certain degree, because it creates a (IMO) false
impression of merging showstoppers. After months of being in -mm, and
after addressing all issues that were raised (and there was a fair
amount of review activity December last year iirc), one week prior the
close of the merge window a 'huge' list of issues are raised. (after
belovingly calling the GFS2 code a "huge mess", to create a positive and
productive tone for the review discussion i guess.)

It's a general problem - our reviewing resources do not have the capacity
to cover our coding resources. This is especially the case on filesystems.
We'd have merged (a very different) reiser4 a year ago if things were
in balance.

(and our code-breaking resources appear to exceed our code-fixing resources
too, but that's another topic).
