Rust is going to help us with [CVEs in the Linux Kernel] by eliminating some engineers who write buggy C code.

@oleksandr if you omitted the word "buggy", it would still describe the same pool of engineers to eliminate from

Does that count?

@ljs @oleksandr @vbabka I don't know…
FWIW I'm taking the safe path: write no code; that cannot be buggy.
I'm afraid deleting code does not count, because as counter-intuitive it sounds, bugs can be introduced by removing code.

@ljs @oleksandr @vbabka Yes, I'm considering to change my plans now.
Maybe I could at least write the new zones in Rust. That should eliminate some bugs, right?

EDIT: And I heard someone at volunteered to write Rust bindings for mm. Hmm?
