That's basically the trial period. Nothing depends on drivers so they are pretty safe to try new things with and the hardware they are used for is limited so you can know you the hardware the driver is used for is supported by the Rust compiler. If we go a few years and its all good and the rust compiler supports everything linux targets, I can imagine more core parts becoming rust.
