There have been a lot of significant changes merged into the mainline forthe 6.1 release, but one of the changes that has received the mostattention will also have the least short-term effect for users of thekernel: the introduction of support for the Rust programming language. Nosystem with a production 6.1 kernel will be running any Rust code, but thischange does give kernel developers a chance to play with the language inthe kernel context and get a sense for how Rust development feels. Perhapsthe most likely conclusion for most developers, though, will be that thereisn't yet enough Rust in the kernel to do much of anything interesting.
