His particular opinion doesn't matter if the rest of the old guard only wants C in the kernel.
A lot of pain and drama could of been prevented if he put his foot down and said only C code is allowed. Instead he left it ambiguous, and a lot of good meaning people have been damaged by this. I know I'd be upset if I had been a part of the Rust for Linux team, and when I actually wanted to get my code in I was told my contributions weren't welcomed.
I wouldn't want to mix and match languages in a project that's so vital to really the entire world. It just seems like a good way for a funky rust bug to cause billions in issues...
