It's reasonable, but calling it 'middle ground' where it's purely common sense is very generous.

Well it's a middle ground between two other realistic extremes, those being "subsystem maintainers must understand and support the Rust bindings to their APIs" and "subsystem maintainers can veto the introduction of Rust bindings to their APIs".

If anyone was seriously arguing for the former position, I've not seen it.

[mort96]

I haven't seen anyone arguing for it either, but I think some maintainers are afraid that that's the direction things will evolve.
