I don't think this little episode has anything to do with Rust, really;
certainly we've had no shortage of companies wanting support for
out-of-tree modules written in C over the years.

Instead, this is just the sort of thing you see when people who are new
to our community learn - the hard way, sometimes - how kernel
development works.  Rust seems likely to bring in a fair number of new
developers, which is great, but we're going to have to help them learn
their way around.

Thanks,

jon
