Yes. Because it's popular and large the Linux kernel has problems where abstractions leak and a subtle implementation detail causes problems because you were supposed to just know that certain APIs don't do quite what it seems like they'd do from the name.

Rust's culture says you must mark abstractions that leak safety as unsafe. If this Rust function named "make_doodad" is labelled safe, it is not OK that I could run it without a doodad_manager, and yet in this case it blows up. Either somehow require me to prove I have a doodad_manager, or, mark it unsafe and document the requirement, or re-design the function so that it checks for a doodad_manager and fails cleanly when one is not present. In some cases you might decide all three are needed: make_doodad_with_manager(&manager) -> Doodad, unsafe make_doodad_unchecked() -> Doodad and make_doodad() -> Result<Doodad,Problem>
