"Rust has finally become a stable part of Linux with this release after more than five years of debate and incremental work. The consensus among the assembled developers is that Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental -- it is now a core part of the kernel and is here to stay."
"In 7.0, the kernel's build tooling now recognizes Rust modules natively, with full cross-compilation support for x86_64, ARM, and RISC-V chips."
"Canonical will be replacing key system components with Rust-based alternatives to enhance safety and resilience."
