    << Alex Gaynor recently announced he is formally stepping down as one of the maintainers of the Rust for Linux kernel code with the removal patch now queued for merging in Linux 6.19. Alex Gaynor was one of the original developers to experiment with Rust code for Linux kernel modules. He's drifted away from Rust Linux kernel development for a while due to lack of time and is now formally stepping down as a listed co-maintainer of the Rust code. After Wedson Almeida Filho stepped down last year as a Rust co-maintainer, this now leaves Rust For Linux project leader Miguel Ojeda as the sole official maintainer of the code while there are several Rust code reviewers. >>

"Yay, we got Rust in the Kernel! ^_^ Ok, now it's your code! Bye!"

1. He left before Rust stopped being experimental.

2. Maintainers come and go all the time, this is how open source works.

3. The only reason Phoronix reports on this is because anytime they mention Rust it attracts rage bait clicks, for example, your comment.

Then another maintainer will take care of it? This is how kernel development works....

They have less and less resources
