Hi Sebastien, You are jumping to conclusions: converting C to Rust doesn't mean kernel code will be converted, it means Applications code conversion!
You were very vocal against CMake and Device Tree too, but they arrived in the project and it is important to the project evolution. If you don't want to learn new things, it is your right, but the only constant thing in the world is change. It is also your right not to contribute anymore to the project, as you said before... Just be more positive and don't try to prevent those who want to contribute.
