> No one is going to rewrite the Linux Kernel in Rust. It is far too big ...

Please refrain from using strawman arguments. Nobody proposed to rewrite everything at once. This is what TFA actually wrote:

| So the idea would rather be to rewrite pieces of the Linux kernel in Rust, so the change can be incremental and one doesn’t need to rewrite the whole OS

(It puzzles me what this strawman was good for, given that the remaining arguments are independent from the "too big" argument anyway.)
