I think it is pretty clear from this interview that Linus has no intention to get involved as some Rust developers had hoped. Rust kernel developers will have to sink or swim on their own. And Linus seems ok with either outcome.

From some comments in this discussion, it seems some Rust enthusiasts are mainly interested in sidestepping any discussion on the real world output, technical merits and tradeoffs of using Rust in kernel work, and were instead eager to have an authority figure dictate adoption to further push the bandwagon. Marketing and self-promotion are important, but without a solid technical argument what's the point really?
