>As can be seen, these patches are slowly building the in-kernel Rust code up so that real functionality can be implemented in Rust, but this process has some ground to cover yet. It's not clear whether more Rust code will be proposed for 6.2, or whether this is the full set. The pace of change may seem slow to developers who would like to start doing real work in Rust, but it does have the advantage of moving in steps that can be understood — and reviewed — by the kernel community. The Rust-for-Linux work has been underway for a few years already; getting up to full functionality may well take a while longer yet.
Me too, I agree.
