    [$] Committing to Rust in the kernel

    Description:
    The project to enable the writing of kernel code in Rust has been underway
    for several years, and each kernel release includes more Rust code. Even
    so, some developers have expressed frustration at the time it takes to get
    new functionality merged, and an air of uncertainty still hangs over
    the project. At the 2024 Maintainers Summit, Miguel Ojeda led a discussion
    on the status of Rust in the kernel and whether the time had come to stop considering it an experimental project. There were not answers to all of the questions, but it seems clear that Rust in the kernel will continue
    steaming ahead.
