### Pushback from media for v4l2 Rust abstraction

[Context](https://linuxtv.org/irc/oftc/irclogger_log/linux-media?date=2025-08-18,Mon)

Rust abstraction can create maintenance difficulties for C side changes that can break Rust.

Potential solutions:
* Use block as an example?
* Or ask the question why media is different?
* Boqun: Maybe make this as an example. 
* Alice: we should not conflict with https://rust-for-linux.com/rust-kernel-policy
