Fair enough. Don't you think it simplifies the issue a little bit? How long would it take to rewrite the entire TCP stack in rust?

    I don't think a rewrite in Rust is necessary for everything that has a bug. Instead fixing the bug is probably more secure, before such alternative Rust code is mature enough to replace it.
