I believe the removal of the "experimental" nomenclature is just an indication that Rust is "here to stay" in the kernel (which essentially means that developers can have confidence investing in writing Rust based drivers).

The overall rules haven't changed.

Strictly speaking they've always been obligated to not break the Rust code, but the R4L developers have agreed to fix it on some subsystems behalf IIRC so Rust can be broken in the individual subsystem trees. But I think it's been the case all along that you can't send it to Linus if it breaks the Rust build, and you probably shouldn't send it to linux-next either.
