I am so glad Linus just came out and said it. I was pretty upset at Hector too in the other thread the other day, and I especially didn't appreciate a call to remove a major developer from the kernel because Hector wasn't getting his way. Very militant action on Hector's part where it just wasn't necessary.
Hector, if you're reading this, communication skills are just as if not more important than your Rust development skills, and frankly your communication skills lack.
So now we've lost a very good developer, and the question of rust in the kernel remains unresolved. This is the worst possible outcome.
The times when a single developer was important to Linux were in the 90s.
