Old timers resisting rust in the kernel because it's not what they know... Understandable, but to the detriment of the kernel and its community.

This is why the Linux Foundation investing just 2% of its influx on the kernel is a problem. The kernel dev community could be brimming with new blood. Instead, the old guard has to keep the lights on because the aren't enough successors.
