As other commenters have poked at; I'd hope that if Rust is going into the kernel (even if just for drivers), that means it's hopefully hopefully started to "calm down" as a language.
At least in regards to the features that affect kernel-level development. Stabilizing that doesn't preclude active development in things like async or in the standard library (both of which I'd expect not to see much or any use in the kernel.) But I'd hope for decent work towards backwards and forwards compatibility in the set of language features used there.
