No, no, I think it absolutely makes sense to have Rust presentations in
a "Toolchains and Kernel" microconference of LPC as well; sorry for the
ambiguity. I think it would make sense to have the Toolchains and Kernel
microconference to discuss Rust in the kernel, as well as other
clang/LLVM topics. I was thinking of proposing something different, a
"what would we like from Rust" session. I had thought to propose that
for Kernel Summit, but I'd love to coordinate and make sure there isn't
any actual or perceived ambiguity for conference organizers, and if
there might be, I'd much rather make sure the focus is on the
microconference. Let's talk about it on the call this weekend.
