It's a style that has been recognized as humorous for decades before the corporate CoC-wielding bureaucrats moved in. Much more refreshing than passive aggressive replies like this one:

I think Rust is not a culture fit for the Linux kernel and its adoption will further undermine Linux.

the unstated part here is that in the absence of a compiler-visible atomic modelling system, an atomic model is implemented in `core::atomic` and LLVM. similarly, a `kcore` library could provide atomic types just like the way the LKMM is defined as a library in-tree.

this is not a language limitation, as the language is able to emit LLVM atomic operations just fine. like allocations, it needs people with a defined goal (like the kernel) to provide a target for implementations to reach; proäctive creation of a model without knowing if it has an audience is not worthwhile, which is why it hasn't been done
