I don't see how one can run and hide from Linus' point. Exception/panic based work is problematic in libraries, and has no place in kernels. Erlang's OTP supervision trees is as others have pointed out, a runtime issue that app-devs build on. Therefore it's an abstraction that's above the kernel and out of scope w.r.t. to kernel work.

This is a fair and valid point. On reflection, what I am looking for is not something that would be in the kernel. It's more something that is an added layer on Rust, quite possibly with compiler support, to provide for OTP style services and supervisors.
