KEYNOTE
summary
Rust support is upstreamed into the kernel and merged into v6.1, with the project tracking unstable Rust features, hosting a kernel crate and a custom build system, and enforcing that drivers use safe abstractions instead of calling C APIs directly. Recent cycles show a few thousand commits, ~2,000 contributors, 240 first-time contributors and ~200 supporting companies. Documentation examples become KUnit-tested doc examples and Rust for Linux is now part of RCI to catch regressions.
