## Patch series status
The Rust support is still to be considered experimental. However, support is good enough that kernel developers can start working on the Rust abstractions for subsystems and write drivers and other modules.
I'd really like to see this landed for a few reasons:
- It's under active development, and I'd rather review the changes "normally", incrementally, etc. Right now it can be hard to re-review some of the "mostly the same each version" patches in the series.
- I'd like to break the catch-22 of "ask for a new driver to be written in rust but the rust support isn't landed" vs "the rust support isn't landed because there aren't enough drivers". It really feels like "release early, release often" is needed here; it's hard to develop against -next. :)
Should we give it a try for this coming merge window?
