This wasn't a "Rust diatribe" but mostly a remark about certain,
supposedly-pending kernel policy decisions. Insofar something I stated
was wrong - that's perfectly possible - please free to correct instead
of trying to pass summary statements _about me_ based on nothing
discernible.

Rust has a package manager called Cargo whose purpose is to download the
source code of Rust dependencies which are then compiled into an
application. There's no mechanism (I know of) for runtime link
libraries independent of Rust applications. It's perfectly possible that
I'm wrong about this, because I've only used the language very little.

The example provided in this text certainly doesn't use dynamic linking
(and neither did the Rust code I've been working with so far,
specifcally, the Rust code that's part of suricata).
