    The existing maintainers won’t live forever, having Rust in the Kernel is a bet on the future.

    You’re drastically reducing your talent base by requiring membership in two groups of experts. Well done.

    The comma splice gives it away, but you’re new at organizing groups and practicing set theory, aren’t you?

      No. That does not mean they have to program in both languages. If the programmer only understand one language (which would be a shame), then they only need to program in their field. This increases the talent base, not reduces it. C programmers do not need to be a Rust expert, so what in the world are you saying there? They just need to cooperate!
