Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is not how the kernel works. You cannot rely on someone's "commitment" or "promise". Kernel maintainers was to have very good control over the kernel and they want strong separation of concern. As long as this is not delivered, it will be very hard to accept the Rust changes.
At some level this is just concern trolling. There is nothing the Rust developers could possibly do or say that would alleviate the concern you've just expressed. You are asking for something that is impossible. What could they possibly "deliver" beyond a strong commitment to fix the code in a timely manner themselves?
Some kernel developers really do feel that any Rust in the kernel will eventually mean that Rust gets accepted as a kernel language, and that they will eventually have to support it, and they the only way to prevent this is to stop any Rust development right now.
And yes, there's nothing that the R4L group can offer to be get around that belief. There isn't any compromise on this. Either Rust is tried, then spreads, then is accepted, or it's snuffed out right now.
A big mistake by R4L people is seeing anti-Rust arguments as "unfair" and "nontechnical." But it is a highly technical argument about the health of the project (though sometimes wrapped in abusive language). Rust is very scary, and calling out scared people as being unfair is not effective.
