Actually we are guessing the merging magic from Greg these days :)

OK, I get the merging policy, and I totally agree and support it. And yes,
any patch from anyone are welcome.
It is a nice thing which means someone is interested in it, especially
for the filesystem actively under development. :)
We are quite happy more people could blame us, and join us to improve it (although
currently source code of mkfs is missing for some business reasons, I am using my best
effort to push this forward), and we will tell guys who are interested in erofs what we are
doing now (what we are focusing on) and what we will do next regularly.
Thanks,
