I'd really like to see this landed for a few reasons:
- It's under active development, and I'd rather review the changes
"normally", incrementally, etc. Right now it can be hard to re-review
some of the "mostly the same each version" patches in the series.
- I'd like to break the catch-22 of "ask for a new driver to be
written in rust but the rust support isn't landed" vs "the rust
support isn't landed because there aren't enough drivers". It
really feels like "release early, release often" is needed here;
it's hard to develop against -next. :)
Should we give it a try for this coming merge window?
