> I'm looking forward to distros shipping a default kernel with Rust support enabled

What does this mean? The kernel has no specific support for Rust userspace -- the syscall API does not suddenly change because some parts of the kernel are compiled with rustc.

They aren’t talking about userspace.

As I understand it, the kernel has a flag, no by default, to enable building rust code as part of the kernel. They’re saying they’d like to see a distributed choosing to default this flag to yes for the kernels they build.

They.

I'm sorry, what?
