I'm not against rewriting it in Rust because I believe it really may help in certain class of bugs, but indeed it should not be replacing the old version instantly for that reason. Both could co exist, even tho you still need some guinea pigs to test it out and find issues.

Other than security, Rust brings major improvement to the tooling and may help bring fresh members that wouldn't want to contribute to C code. I understand why some projects go that route
