UB is only one class of error you can get in a big, complex program. Re-writing functionality opens the door to every other potential class of error too.
I liked the approach the kernel devs were taking where rust modules were being integrated without the ‘core’ code being touched. I think people who want a complete re-write of everything (if they exist outside of my convenient straw man) are probably better off starting a fresh kernel project.
Yes, you’re right, from my understanding nothing is in the kernel. Was more referring to the “re-write in rust!!” meme but admittedly that’s a strawman.

Nothing is being rewritten in Rust.
