But it does. He has to notify R4L of what his changes were and how it broke the Rust driver. Even if he didn’t, he will still be contacted for information regarding these things.

Just like any other user, and he is free to ignore them just like any other person doing so.
There’s 2 kinds of scenarios here:
- Rust code involved: C code change breaks Rust. ~Send~ ~an~ ~email~ ~and~ move on.
- C code involved: inform other C devs, either work with them or wait for them to fix.
The way I see it, either way, the “Rust stuff adds unacceptable amounts of workload” doesn’t really check out.
Edit: turns out he doesn’t even need to inform the Rust devs.
