They are separate from the other kernel developers, but not in the negative way you seem to want to assign to me. They aren't an outside invasion, they are a cultural revolution.
They may want to work on Linux but it's clear that the rest of the Linux developer community does not want to allow it, for reasons you are free to interpret as positive or negative as you see fit.
They want to write software, and they are getting somewhere, but they are restricted by the attitudes of the rest of the Linux kernel people fighting against them, so they are sucked into constant flamewars and divisive infighting. All just so they can say what they are working on is "Linux".
At the end, the question must be asked whether or not Linux and its decades of Linux/Unix baggage are worth holding back the progress represented by a kernel that is Rust from top to bottom, and written with safety and security as its top priorities from day zero instead of decades after.
