Thanks for your suggestion. I have been thinking about this and below are my thoughts. I'd be happy to hear your opinions.
The goal of Rust, as well as other high-level languages, is to hide low-level details for security and correctness. For example, the linear type in Rust aims at hiding memory management.
The goal of OS education, in contrast, is to expose low-level details. For example, the connection between C and the CPU ISA is very close and natural, so that it is easier for students to connect their OS knowledge with computer architecture knowledge.
I guess I still hope students could focus on the low-level connection between OS and architecture. I think after the OS course, a higher-level course on software engineering could focus on security and correctness, including programming language support.

Why is anyone so obsessed with Rust? I agree with @yhzhang0128 , the goal is to learn low level tech there, not hide it.

Thanks for the comment. To be fair, Rust is a very good language. In my other work, I use Rust and I found it to be very productive. I can understand why many software companies may want to use Rust for productivity.
