Following arguments on the Linux kernel mailing list the past few days over some Linux kernel maintainers being against the notion of Rust code in the mainline Linux kernel and trying to avoid it and very passionate views over the Linux kernel development process, Asahi Linux lead developer Hector Martin has removed himself from being an upstream maintainer of the ARM Apple code.

    Hector Martin loves Rust. Some kernel maintainers don’t. Hector made some social media posts criticizing a kernel maintainer, telling him he should resign or be removed for trying to sabotage R4L. Rust folks seemingly thought that Linus would side with them but instead Linus was annoyed that he took the problem to social media and that maybe the problem is himself (Hector).
