A pair of Rust kernel modules

As a counter point, I've enjoyed the discussion milesrout has created. Some of the replies have been excellent - the best I've seen on this subject anywhere on the web. They're from people who clearly know the subject very well and also write clearly.

I think that's because they are passionate about the subject. They wear that passion on their sleeves, which I suspect is what you are objecting to - it's not a dry "authoritative" academic treatment of the subject. Yes, that passion could easily drag the discussion into the weeds, but without the passion they would not of invested the time and effort needed to craft such replies.

It's difficult to argue passionately about something, while maintaining the disciplined needed to address the just subject and not the people delivering it. Yet, that is mostly what has been achieved here, in what is effectively an open forum. I put it down to corbet's gentle steering. As other's have said, he limited tools available. His most effective one seems to be leading by example.
