    I can understand their frustration, having multiple other rust for Linux project maintainers quit over nontechnical rust aversion.

    And Linus continues to (democratically?) avoid the subject with this response.

    As a rust for Linux volunteer you have to be incredibly demoralized reading this mess almost every other month.

      Part of why linux has been a successful long term project is by making decisions conservatively. Other projects like cURL do the same. Incremental improvements over time.

      It seems like there is a culture clash with the rust devs who are pushing for changes faster than the long term project maintainers are comfortable with.
