Humans can't be perfect, including you and me.

Recently, there has been drama in the Linux community.
Almost everyone says someone is wrong, and someone is right.
I don't think so.
It's not simply black or white; it's a shade of gray.
Personally, I don't like Rust.
It requires significant compile-time and RAM, along with other issues.
But, Christoph Hellwig, seriously. Saying cancer is not a good idea to express your thoughts.
Perhaps we can say Rust is not yet stable, or that we personally don't prefer it.
You are free to express your thoughts on SNS.
However, bringing technical disputes to SNS isn't productive.
Additionally, your approach is too aggressive.
If the goal is to get maintainers to merge this code into Linux, you need to persuade other maintainers or Linus to merge it.
Instead, you led to unnecessary conflict and distractions.
Now, instead of focusing on the technical aspects, the discussion has turned into personal conflicts.
It's a real mess.
I want to say this to Hector Martin, Linus Torvalds, Christoph Hellwig, and other open-source maintainers.
Humans can't be perfect.
Everyone makes mistakes.
And we need to give feedback, instead of blaming.
C'est la vie—imperfect and flawed.
But we can make it better.
Let's improve open-source by bringing kindness into our discussions.
