To say Rust won't cause extra work for C developers, this is exactly what people are claiming. This is from the comment I originally replied to.

> The Rust maintainers have committed to handling all maintenance of Rust code, and handling all breakage of their code by changes on the C side. The only "burden" the C maintainers have to carry is to CC a couple of extra people on commits when APIs change.

But this is not actually true it seems. Even the Rust for Linux policy doesn't say this. But because of the incorrect statement that keeps getting repeated, people are calling Kernel devs unreasonable for being reluctant to Rust patches.
