Classic Linus.

From the closing paragraph, I feel like he’s under the impression that Rust-advocating contributors are putting Rust’s interests (e.g. “legitimizing it” by getting it in the kernel) above the kernel itself.

>>kweing+O7
You're completely wrong here. There is no push to "legitimize" Rust by getting it into the kernel. A lot of people want to actively write drivers for Linux without having to use C to do it.

Trying to tweak the kernel to make integration easier in a supposed non-harmful way doesn't harm anything.

Linus is specifically saying the proposed "tweak" is not desirable.
