Sure. The point is, this is for new code where you know Rust supports the platform. It “creeping in” to something Rust can’t support won’t happen, because then the rust-less build will break.
You are right that there are other policies that could work in a different way, but these policies were chosen specifically so that Rust doesn’t make the kernel sacrifice old platforms.
- Joel_Mckay 2y ago'It “creeping in” to something Rust can’t support won’t happen' The exact same argument could be made for future architectural changes, as OpenBSD/FreeBSD/NetBSD build requirements will now beat Polyglot Linux in every metric of porting complexity moving forwards. We can't have it both ways... Best regards =3
