I find it of note that hes only stepping down from the DMA mapping and still maintains other parts, so its really just about rust.
Good. This dev has explicitly said that he has non-technical reservations, and that he’ll abuse his position to get his view pushed through.
I hope they can keep themselves from doing the same for the rest of the systems they’re maintaining.

Rust is a psyop
Rust has its uses, it certainly has its place in the world of languages. I think if you are making a new low level project, rust is a good pick.
The Rust4Linux project was always fundamentally going to create disagreements and strife. Lots of angry headbutting was to be expected. It happening in such a public way, with sizeable collateral damage, was not.
