> The development model of illumos is different from Linux and thus there are no Rust drivers in upstream illumos yet. But that is to be expected for new things. In our model, we take the time to mature new tech in a fork, and for rust, the Oxide fork has taken that role. In there, we have several drivers for the Oxide Networking stack that are in rust. Based on that some experience could be gained.
Soft forks are also good, but doesn't illumos have a stable driver ABI, such that you could just make your drivers completely independently? I thought that was how it had ex. Nvidia drivers ( https://docs.openindiana.org/dev/graphics-stack/#nvidia )
