This title is moderately clickbait-y and comes with a subtle implication that Rust might be getting removed from the kernel. IMO it should be changed to "Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental"
Speaking as a subscriber of about two decades who perhaps wouldn't have a career without the enormous amount of high-quality education provided by LWN content, or at least a far lesser one: Let's forgive.
It was unintentional as per author
> Ouch. That is what I get for pushing something out during a meeting, I guess. That was not my point; the experiment is done, and it was a success. I meant no more than that.
Has anyone found them to be inaccurate, or fluffy to the point it degraded the content?
I haven’t - but then again, probably predominantly reading the best posts being shared on aggregators.
That’s why I was chatting about the “Ouch.”
because it was the only part of the comment that didn’t make sense to me in isolation,
so I opened the context, what he was replying to.
(I do agree it's clickbait-y though)

The topic of the Rust experiment was just discussed at the annual Maintainers Summit. The consensus among the assembled developers is that Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental — it is now a core part of the kernel and is here to stay. So the "experimental" tag will be coming off. Congratulations are in order for all of the Rust-for-Linux team.
