Every week or so there seems to be drama about some old dude shouting about how rust in the Linux kernel is bad. Given all the open hostility, is there easier way for R4L to continue their work?

      There is no reason for it. The odds of success would be low compared to the current process which for the most part is going along pretty well despite all the melodrama surrounding it.

      There is no point in forking. The problem is not adding Rust to the Kernel, the problem is the C developers to get to work on it together. Forking does not solve this issue. Its not about proving being more efficient or not.
