New comment by linuxfax in "Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental"

He also said in that same email regarding Rust that:

> nobody is forced to suddenly have to learn a new language, and that people who want to work purely on the C side can very much continue to do so.

So any argument that Rust would ever fully replace C in such a way that C would go away and be banned in the kernel is NOT what Linus said.
