Every time Rust comes up I see comments like "Rust people should fork the kernel" which is an absolutely insane statement

Firstly: It's hard enough to fork a terminal let alone one of the biggest FOSS code bases

Secondly: People want to improve the thing others actually use

What's effectively being said is go and start a whole new kernel project, and sure people could do that but again, the goal isn't to start a new kernel it's to improve the kernel that powers the world
