As I read it, PHK was saying that this is why a "Linux-distro
style model" would not work for adding Rust kernel support to
FreeBSD at this time.

The "this" in my previous paragraph and in the quoted bits
isn't entirely clear to me, but the effort of maintaining Rust
bindings for kernel functionality seems to be a significant
part of the apparent problem.

Be well.
