It is the explicit policy of the project, and was repeated in the thread, that the Rust folks are solely responsible for fixing any breakage. There will be no shitstorm.
- caspper69 2y agoI see you responded to both of my comments in this thread, but I'll save us both the trouble by doing a single reply. I understood/understand the representations, and I am sure they are made in good faith. At the same time, I also understand the reality of having the things you do seriously impact the work of others and the types of issues that can cause. I did state that I was leaning on the side of him being unreasonable, but also that I understood the concern. Nothing more, nothing less.
- devit 2y agoI think Linus should change this though, so that the maintainers that don't want to learn Rust have to step down, and there are no more conflicts.
