Yes I know it's just initial support/NVMe drivers. The point is that it is a major change to have another language support added. 6.0 to 6.1 is clearly the cut off between no Rust at all and *intiail* Rust support. I wasn't around back when C++ was added and ejected, but what was the process then? An LTS that is very old prior to C++ > C++ added *intiially* LTS made > C++ ejected? For those that might have been hesitant on C++ they could have stayed on an LTS right before C++ was added and then just skipped any potential issues and went right to the next LTS after it was removed. Also, Rust support isn't the only major change in 6.1, by the kernel.orgs own site (time permitting) an LTS is made if major changes are present. In my opinion, which I am sure means nothing to most of you but echoes a lot of others, if anything as a gesture of goodwill towards the community an LTS should be made prior to any Rust support being added aka 5.19 or 6.0.
