I think the jump from one to two was huge after development for over 20 years. I don't think there should be a jump or rush. Rust (while not necessary) will hopefully be able to eliminate memory errors and give better abstraction mechanisms in the codebase. If we have Rust and C, I don't see why we'd need another language any time soon. Those two should be able to carry the kernel by themselves. As far as I know, Rust is going to be for new drivers mostly, so they aren't going to be rewriting C code in Rust.
