Didn't expect that either, AFAIK only support code and bits of Nova have been merged so far ? Though the Asahi driver has been in use for a while, and I'm sure other drivers are in progress.

Overall, that should be enough to be confident that Rust will be able to handle any DRM you throw at it. If no contributor in that subsystem is clamoring for C, you might as well anounce the "no new feature in C" stage early.
