Indeed they're non-technical problems, but really blocking ones. As a user, I dont want to have my filesystem and Kernel have a possibility of going out of sync leading to an unusable system during a regular update.
The biggest attractor towards BcacheFS for me was the possibility of that cohesion. All the technical merits were a bonus as ZFS does already what I wish for. That factor went away with BcacheFS choosing to not get mainlined into Linux Kernel. Now we have two good filesystems outside the kernel :-(
