Not everything might be better, but most things would be more secure and stable in shorter time for sure, when using Rust or any other suitable language which e.g. guarantees memory safety and general correctness. It just looks as Rust is the most promising and also the best fitting candidate for this. Also, I have heard just good things about the experience using Rust for Linux drivers.
So the Linux project is now at a point where long-term decisions need to be made. The Rust integration requires the next step, one maintainer tries to block that entirely. This has to be resolved in one way or the other with the corresponding consequences.
