Binder deletion, a Rust-only SPDM requester, and unconditional per VMA locks together shift the argument from whether Rust belongs in the kernel to what happens when a Rust implementation becomes the one that wins.
By kexecA push to delete the legacy C Binder driver, a Rust SPDM requester for untrusted device auth, and unconditional VMA locks together force the kernel to decide whether dual maintenance ends in security-sensitive paths.
