Unless I’m mistaking things, there’s still multiple roadblocks?
Just because some people have invited you in doesn’t mean everyone is welcoming.

Where exactly? Yes, Christoph Hellwig did lay down in the street and did say "Over my dead body!", but everyone else just got on with it.
Do you really think a few nasty messages from a few nasty kernel maintainers is what stops Rust in the Linux kernel?

Exactly, but as much as open source can be a social thing, the Linux kernel is big business. And I think the people who really pay for the kernel really want Rust in the kernel.
