Again, the Linux kernel needs more funding. For crying out loud, these kinds of people holding back progress should be made obsolete (by bringing in and paying talent that is willing to work towards a brighter future with less memory errors, a sane tech stack with better tooling, and better processes). Holding back progress because of their incessant pearl clutching "but my dearest C!!!" Just hurts everybody and impedes progress.

Of course blindly adding the latest and greatest is asking for trouble. Assessing risk, weighing options, making a plan and continuously assessing impact is definitely important, but straight up blocking the road on principle is extremely unproductive.
