Not sure I am following the "what FFI means" discussion, but in case it clarifies: The Rust subsystem is meant to be about anything related in some way to Rust; typically meaning all the things that are not covered elsewhere (including what both Gary and Danilo mention), sometimes with overlap with other "global" infrastructure/subsystems (e.g. Kbuild), sometimes acting as a fallback for Rust code out there if really needed (i.e. similar to Andrew, but for Rust bits), and so on. >From what I understand, Joel and Alexandre want to focus on maintaining the `clist` bits (at least for now), and if they are both going to have the "(CLIST)" suffix, then it may be simpler to make the entry just that for now since `MAINTAINERS` it is easy to change anyway. Now, what kind of things would we want to have inside such a `ffi` module? (apart from `clist`). Does it mean the proposal is to eventually move existing things like `CStr`? Cheers, Miguel
