  The way Christoph exited seems way more graceful than the drama-seeking divas so far.

  Although, not going to lie, this seems incredibly sad. I would've liked him to wait and see what the long-term effects actually were for maintaining the C side with a Rust consumer. Though I can imagine him not being happy to be on that end of Linus' argument.

  Not sure if this made it as a post, but it seems Linus is making it increasingly obvious that rust will stay in his Linux.

  pretty sure this was going to happen, given the announcement from mr. torvalds.
