So let me be very clear: if you as a maintainer feel that you control who or what can use your code, YOU ARE WRONG.

Not a follower of kernel development, but I agree with Linus. The latest drama is just full of unprofessional toxicity (from both sides).

Linus had said for years that he wants to see Rust in some form in the kernel. You might not like it, but sometimes you just have to disagree and commit.
