While Linux 7.0 is the next kernel version solely over Linus Torvalds' numbering preference, there is a notable symbolic change that was sent in overnight for this new kernel merge window: formally concluding the "Rust experiment" with upstream kernel developers now in acceptance that Rust for the Linux kernel is here to stay.

The patch was talked about back in December that the Rust experiment is over and it's here to stay. There are already uses for Rust in production environments, some Linux distributions shipping with Rust kernel code, and millions of Android devices also using it.

I don't see any future for seatbelts, and forcing such an ugly implement in cars might lead to problems.

Seatbelts will kill cars if it persists there long enough.

The upper middle class family of a childhood friend refused to wear seatbelts (1980s) because mom was injured by her seatbelt in an accident. I remember being surprised at their approach to risk reduction.

I don't see any future for halos in F1 cars, and forcing such an ugly implement in cars might lead to problems.

Halos will kill F1 if they persist there long enough.
