As I read it, PHK was saying that this is why a "Linux-distro style model" would not work for adding Rust kernel support to FreeBSD at this time. The "this" in my previous paragraph and in the quoted bits isn't entirely clear to me, but the effort of maintaining Rust bindings for kernel functionality seems to be a significant part of the apparent problem. Be well.
