No. There was one instance of a toolchain issue accidentally including some Rust stuff when Rust was configured off, this was fairly quickly rectified. Linus even said in one of his more recent emails that this happens infrequently, but also, this happens all the time in general, and that’s why linux-next exists.
Linus did reaffirm the policy of “C folks are allowed to fully ignore Rust stuff.”
