> At the present time, we require certain nightly features. That is, features that are not available in the stable compiler. Nevertheless, we aim to remove this restriction within a year by either `rustc` landing the features in stable or removing our usage of them otherwise.
Using unstable features in something like the Linux kernel just seems like a bad idea. Why not wait until Rust is a little more matured, and doesn't need to use nightly features?
