I don't see how anyone but Linus could sign off on changing something as large as "Rust code is now required to build the kernel." I'm also not aware of anyone suggesting that should change.

I know who Ted is as well. That's why I expect better behavior. Then again, I'm not involved in any way, so my opinions don't really matter.

"He could have done better" is a very different thing to say than "it feels like a bad faith argument instead of a genuine concern".

People are people and people can often "do better" in many ways on account of being people. That doesn't mean they're acting in bad faith.
