The ability to write kernel code in Rust was explicitly added as an experiment — if things did not go well, Rust would be removed again. At the 2025 Maintainers Summit, a session was held to evaluate the state of that experiment, and to decide whether the time had come to declare the result to be a success. The (arguably unsurprising) conclusion was that the experiment is indeed a success, but there were some interesting points made along the way.
