> Which Chris did doubt, as a way to gatekeep Rust (as you misrepresented, and which is clearly visible in the LKML thread).

Can you provide the exact quote where Hellwig is suggesting that it is impossible to write a driver in Rust? No, you can't? So who exactly is misrepresenting here?

> regardless, back to the other stuff: First point: Which is what was suggested as well in the LKML and still does not really solve the problem, which is not TECHNICAL but POLITICAL. Second point: Obvious, and wasteful, and again is thus a political move which is the entire point of this entire saga. It isn't about drama, its about the political aspect of the kernel dev being tiring and wasteful.

You are shifting the goalpost from this making R4L "dead" to the way forward being "tiring and wasteful". It doesn't look like you are arguing in a good faith so I won't participate in the discussion with you anymore.
