> Your 'very practical desire' to write Rust drivers doesn't extend into some sort of corresponding obligation for anyone else to accept that code into their projects.
Never said it did?
> Nothing about the idea of OSS extends you a right to merge whatever code you want into someone else's project to satisfy your 'very practical desires'.
And that's why I called them practical desires, not rights?
> Drew is offering a practical solution here to all sides, and all that the critics can come up with is 'yeah but wouldn't it be nicer if they got along?' (it would! they don't)
My solution is to first deal with the bad behavior or it will fester. Then I'd ask if the technical reasons for including Rust in the Linux kernel still hold. I think they do. So I'm not sure we've reached the point where a fork makes sense yet. If we forked every time a kernel dev acted nasty to others, we'd have far too many forks.

That's not what I said. If anyone is curious, I address this elsewhere: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41407312
As to why I really can't stand Drew's writing, which is at the core of this complaint, one might see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41404644
