Following arguments on the Linux kernel mailing list the past few days over some Linux kernel maintainers being against the notion of Rust code in the mainline Linux kernel and trying to avoid it and very passionate views over the Linux kernel development process, Asahi Linux lead developer Hector Martin has removed himself from being an upstream maintainer of the ARM Apple code.
I have stopped my donation to Marcan. I hope he reconsiders and rejoins. Only then will I resume my financial support.
Marcan is continuing to work on Linux support for Apple Silicon and publish the results as open source.
Anyone else is welcome to wrestle with the anti-Rust upstream devs to get his work merged there.
Meanwhile, his patches will be available from him for anyone who wants them.
