I personally don't want to discuss about other fses here...

I think XFS developers do great jobs all the time and
EROFS is a simple file system compared with these
generic file systems.

I can promise you that our team will fix bug reports in time, and
I personally think the current EROFS code is not as bad as a bullsh**t...

If you have some time, I'm very happy if you can take some of
your precious time on our work...

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
