I thought we were going to try and use KERNEL_FEATURES for this?

The implementation of KERNEL_RUST_SUPPORT is problematic as it only
works for the value of "True", not "true", or "1" or 1 or any other
thing people might dream up. "Contains" isn't really an appropriate
mechanism for a boolean either.

You can use bb.utils.to_boolean() as a way to better obtain a boolean
value from a random variable.

Cheers,

Richard
