I think initially Linus stance of encouraging Rust drivers as an experiment to see how they turn out was a right decisions. There should be some experience before doing long term commitments to a new technology.

But since then a lot of experience was made and I got the notion that the Rust drivers were quite a success.

And now we are at a point where proceeding further does need a decision by Linus, especially as one of the kernel maintainers is actively blocking further work.
