Every week or so there seems to be drama about some old dude shouting about how rust in the Linux kernel is bad. Given all the open hostility, is there easier way for R4L to continue their work?

There is no point in forking. The problem is not adding Rust to the Kernel, the problem is the C developers to get to work on it together. Forking does not solve this issue. Its not about proving being more efficient or not.
