[...] I understand that, and I share your pain: I've been there myself with code I have maintained for customers. But isn't this a transient problem ? I would expect fusefs, like everything else, to settle down over time ? Also: How many people are we talking about, world-wide ? A dozen ? Four dozens ? Adding Rust to src would inconvenience /everybody/, every time they do a "make buildworld". The solution is not to add Rust to src. The solution is to get rid of the "Src is the holy ivory tower, everything else is barbarians" mentality, which have gotten us into trouble with ISDN, ATM, Perl and much else over the years. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
