I'm even less sure what to make of this article after developments over the past two weeks and especially this past weekend: It seems to be mostly Rust FUD wrapped in a screed against RAII, implying that somehow Rust will harm the kernel, maybe. But in the past two weeks...

16 Nov, Linux 6.13 Introducing New Rust File Abstractions, https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.13-Rust-File-Abstract

26 Nov, 3K Lines Of New Rust Infrastructure Code Head Into Linux 6.13, https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.13-Rust

30 Nov, Linux 6.13 Hits A "Tipping Point" With More Rust Drivers Expected Soon, https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.13-char-misc-More-Rust

That last one is particularly interesting, with the following quote from Greg K-H: "rust misc driver bindings and other rust changes to make misc drivers actually possible. I think this is the tipping point, expect to see way more rust drivers going forward now that these bindings are present. Next merge window hopefully we will have pci and platform drivers working, which will fully enable almost all driver subsystems to start accepting (or at least getting) rust drivers. This is the end result of a lot of work from a lot of people, congrats to all of them for getting this far, you've proved many of us wrong in the best way possible, working code :)"
