[Letux-kernel] [PATCH 00/13] [RFC] Rust support

Well, I agree that most of the drawbacks mentioned there are significant. 

For me personally the decision is clear:

If a day comes where I am forced to install a Rust cross-compiler on my machines
to develop the kernel, I won't do that. Rather I'll stop contributing. I have done
enough for kernel projects, that learning a different language and toolchain isn't
awarding... I already had to install libyaml and learn Python indentation rules
for the new device tree bindings and that was not a pleasure.

So my hope is that it will be a dead-end and will not survive :)

BR,
Nikolaus
