Rust is backwards compatible when you stick to stable features, but the kernel uses unstable features that can and do incur breaking changes.

Parenting is like being an NPC in that magic of childhood. You get to live through that again, just not as the main character. I imagine that starts again as a grandparent, but I'm not there yet.

> Why not offer 1 million for the signed contract?
