Missing file_operations ownership in Rust DRM and misc helpers let the kernel call into unloaded code after rmmod.
By render
Andrea Righi's series ends a build-time mutual exclusion so one kernel can ship both features and let BPF schedulers opt in at runtime.

Members cite unsustainable workload, health strain, and Steering Committee micromanagement as reasons the role could not continue.
