Because the kernel code isn’t pulling dependency code from the internet OR a compiler that changes every day. Kernel code will be checked into the repo, dependencies if any, will be vendored. Nor will much of crates.io be relevant - the kernel will only use no_std with fallible allocations. As for the compiler, it will use a pinned, stable compiler, not nightly. Why are you spreading FUD about nightly + Linux on this thread? At no point has this combination ever been considered.
