I couldn’t agree more with Theo on this one. I suspect a lot of people interested in doing this stuff haven’t had to maintain anything for a long time (10 years+). This to me feels like the painful switch between SunOS and Solaris we had to do back in the day. Lots of very small differences. And you have to maintain them forever if you have dual stacks of tools.

Not only that the rust ecosystem imports a HUGE difficult to control surface area.

Always feels like a vanity project when I see ideological rewrites. Also didn’t they introduce a ton more CVEs doing this on the Ubuntu side.
