I think both arguments have credibility.

The R4L says they will make sure the Rust code is fixed when the C code is, and that's admirable, but the concern it means a developer now has to wait for that, holding up their work for release/submission. The bus factor is now on the R4L team.

Meanwhile, everyone involved in development for Linux already knows C.

They do not have to wait.
