The topic of the Rust experiment was just discussed at the annual Maintainers Summit. The consensus among the assembled developers is that Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental — it is now a core part of the kernel and is here to stay. So the “experimental” tag will be coming off. Congratulations are in order for all of the Rust for Linux team.

    I guess that still depends on the maintainer which is responsible. But since drivers often deal with untrusted data, which can lead to security exploits, this makes a lot of sense.
