You have a valid point although I wouldn't frame it as adversarial as much as mutually beneficial. There will certainly be some bullshit eliminated from Rust, but I would not be surprised if there is a similar quantity eliminated from the kernel. Even in the most scrutinized C codebase in the world, there are likely memory usage bugs. If Rust can find and eliminate them, while also improving its capabilities, we all benefit.
