It’s not naive, it’s just been speculated and talked about incessantly since Rust came out. The one naive part is underestimating how long that would take - Linux is one of the largest codebases on Earth. It would require massive coordination over years to rewrite, and in the end all you would get is the exact same product.

It’s just not an interesting or unique perspective, and pretty silly to suggest seriously.
