What are these "rust needs" that are incompatible with "kernel needs"?

Stuff like faillible memory allocations are being worked and rust doesn't have so many needs by itself.

A single person argued to Linus a broad amount of the kernel's internal API should be painstakingly refactored to be philosophically rust-y. Linus said no way, that's not what we're doing here.

Luckily, that's not what the Rust for Linux project has been doing either.
