[$] Vibe-coded ext4 for OpenBSD

Description:
A number of projects have been struggling with the question of which submissions created by large language models (LLMs), if any, should be
accepted into their code base. This discussion has been further muddied by efforts to use LLM-driven reimplemention as a way to remove copyleft restrictions from a body of existing code, as recently happened with the Python chardet module . In
this context, an attempt to introduce an LLM-generated implementation of
the Linux ext4 filesystem into OpenBSD was always going to create some fireworks, but that project has its own, clearly defined reasons for
looking askance at such submissions.
