This is going to spin out but Rust is not a fit for kernel development. It is a language fueled by what feels like a perpetual hype cycle. To say that there is nothing out of the ordinary means you haven't compared the site before and after. Out of all the languages and actual things for kernel developers to become increasingly concerned with, Rust is not one of them. To ignore this practicality and suggest that having the Rust agenda carried forward is incorrect. The current experimentation with Rust will end and what will you say when that happens? Many already falsely claim the kernel ships with Rust when it does not. How does that not indicate that a bias is leading to the spread of misinformation? Why is this okay for Rust but maybe not in other areas? Would you feel the same if it were AI articles instead?

So just because it's hyped it shouldn't be used? Or are you saying that it's a bad language and people only use it because of the hype?
