Rust
summary
Patch series v9 contains the minimal kernel crate changes and shrinks the original set to v9 reduced to ~3% of code, leaving the other Rust abstractions to submit separately. Maintainership prefers per-subsystem trees for review; drivers can drive Rust into subsystems. Tooling discussion covers splitting crates, dependency visibility, and a plan to vendor a subset of alloc/yellow crates rather than network pulls. Compiler cadence debate favors upgrading only for needed features and aiming for 100% stable Rust to restore bisectability and long-term reproducible builds.
