Well, one side just quit.
And that particular side was told by Linus Torvalds himself that his way of Social Media brigading is inappropriate for kernel development, and that the current process works.
I choose to believe Linus. His work on and guidance of the kernel used to and still does work pretty great.
No, the entirety of the Rust for Linux kernel development community didn't just quit. One guy quit. There are plenty of other kernel developers who are trying to push Rust 4 Linux forwards and make it viable for more kinds of drivers.
The person who quit was not the author of the patch, or a member of Rust for Linux.
The person who quit wrote the Linux graphics driver for Apple M-series GPUs in Rust.
