For me it was the inclusion in the kernel. That locks it in as here to stay

I thought it got pushed back out? Wasn't there a big drama about this and Linus weighed in?

Linus is a wise operator at this point. I often see him come in like a hammer to bash down squabbling, but then he allows the situation to evolve once things quiet down. I only saw the hammer so I'm not sure what the current state is now.

Where did you hear that it got pushed back out? It's going strong as far as I can tell.

I was thinking of the public clash in 2025 between Christoph Hellwig which lead to the resignation of Hector Martin, lead of the Asahi Linux project.

It looks like later, in December 2025, Rust was officially moved from experimental to official: https://lwn.net/Articles/1049831/

		I think what Linus pushed back on was specifically "social media brigading" as a solution to internal issues: https://lkml.org/lkml/2025/2/6/1292
