> I thought we were talking about new drivers being developed in Rust
The discussion moved to what happens to drivers that are not ported to Rust, and GP was arguing they should be abandoned/dropped - as opposed to requiring that all driver's be switched over to Rust first.

How can they be held accountable, pragmatically? Also, owning a CVE-riddled, insecure device is actually the user's problem. Open firmware can at least ameliorate the situation right now: where manufacturers cant be bothered to publish/upstream/update their drivers to the latest kernel API in the same language. Asking them to rewrite drivers in Rust and upstream is obviously a tall order - barring the passing of new legislation.
