OP said "As long as this is not delivered"

There is nothing to deliver that would satisfy this argument. Pretending like the disagreement is about a failure of the R4L folks to do "enough" when in fact there is nothing they could do is toxic behavior.

If you go back digging in the LKML archives, Christoph's initial response to Rust was more of a "let's prove it can be useful first with some drivers"

That has now been done. People (particularly Marcan) spent thousands of hours writing complex and highly functional drivers in Rust and proved out the viability, and now the goalposts are being moved.

R4L people are allowed to get upset about people playing lucy-with-the-football like this wasting their f***ing time.
