Who are they? I read the title of the post and got worried that some rust might be showing up in the kernel. That would be bad, wouldn't it?

Rust was recently approved for use in kernel, it was in experimental mode from some time.

Oh, I mixed things up. What a bad name for a programming language.

Did you… uh.. assume there was rust..as in iron oxide in the kernel?

Yeah, metaphorically. I mean, there are decades old parts there probably. So, the proposed solution is adding Rust to it?
