All I hope is that this means less drama.

I don't use (or want to use) Apple silicon. I don't have a personal stake in whether Linux runs well on it. But the drama we've seen recently is neither good for Linux as a whole nor good for these specific subsystems.

I do want to see more rust in the kernel, but not at the cost of harming overall kernel development. I want to see more rust in the kernel because I believe that, if done well, that step can make kernel development better.

Without Linus calling out Cristopher for stopping any integration of Rust in the kernel, with his primary reason being “I don’t like it”, IMO rust for Linux is a dead meme.

While Linus has approved to adding a rust language, actions speak louder than words.
