Yea that whole Rust drama is a pain. Linus unfortunately brought this upon himself. I believe he is also the guy that can fix it be either: Let's remove Rust from the kernel again or... Saying: Just deal with it, we also support Rust, but Rust isn't mandatory.

He can focus on solving the technical problems. Like have a list of things that has to be done in order for people to be happy with it. Missing feature? Starting guide? Limit what features can be used? C to Rust converter? He does not have to solve it alone, like he did with git. He just need to decide the direction.

And in the latter, he also need to think about Rust FFI bindings to C.. But I digress now. I don't want to discuss this here.
