I think they are complementary goals.
On aspect of the Rust-on-Linux worked I've helped out with is trying to make sure standard
library abstractions aren't just suitable for userspace. I hope the medium term result of this is more comparability between bare metal projects on axes where they aren't trying to differentiate.
Longer term, I hope that means a corpus of driver that can be shared between kernels, revolutionizing kernel diversity the same way LLVM revolutionized programming language diversity.
