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.
By kexecGoogle maintainers say the 15-year-old IPC code is too fragile to keep, and the Rust port is already shipping on Android.
By kexecThe addition brings compressed sparse attention, n-gram memory tables, and baked-in activation quantization to the library’s DeepSeek line.
By tensorJohannes Gaessler rejects a pull request adding CPU quantization formats, citing maintenance burden and machine-generated code.
