You have an existent product line running on Linux. It looks like a no brainer to just get rust into Linux so you do not have to rewrite all your userspace code to work on Redox. You can keep your own drivers as well. You can gradually migrate piece by piece.
It looks simpler to fork the existing code base than support a brand new unproven OS where you do not even know if it will perform the same as your current one. The amount of investment looks smaller with the fork but maybe I miss something.
