All I can say is, take it up with Linus. I think "let's see if this even works before we hash out policy" is a far more reasonable approach than "let's argue over every last bit of this before we see if it's even feasible."

No one can deny that kernel devs have a valid complain and concerns. Of course Rust and Linux can work together and is feasible, on paper, and everybody wants to see it in the mainline someday.

But in reality working for and with the kernel is more than just writing code. And being realistic, you wouldn't base months worth of work on the hands and the will of some coder that may or may not have your interests in mind that week. Would you?

All work involves working with requirements or people that may change over time.
