>Now, these guys need to learn Rust I think the key point of contention here is that the Rust maintainers are insisting this isn't the case. For them, they retain oversight on the Rust bindings, not the C components they reference. What they expect is that when a breaking change happens, they are able to reach out to maintainers of the C component and get documentation, issue threads, etc that might help them resolve those issues. For Ts'o, maybe the concern is that producing the docs would be onerous, or that in reality they may have to provide more than the minimum expected level of support. I don't personally think the former is a reasonable complaint. I think the latter has grounds for discussion and compromise. And if he is passionate about the kernel as a project, he should introspect about how likely it is that the community will retain or expand its strength as he throws loud public tantrums voluntary contributions to it.
