1) "User" is the principal engineer of most of Gecko's network stack and pointing out that using that name will lead to complaints during the standardization.
2) The code in question isn't Rust at all.
I mean why even bring this up given (2)?
- david-cako 9y ago> (perhaps it's a mozilla cultural affect?) I didn't know that. The fact that a lead engineer is entertaining people who are upset with "brotli" being abbreviated to "bro" is honestly case in point.
- gcp 9y ago1) As the person who has to drive the result through standards committees, he has to consider how it will be perceived. 2) Again, what has it got to do with Rust?!
- david-cako 9y agoIf my giving examples of how mozilla as a company engages in social politics (the buildbot one is the best example) doesn't relate to rust, I don't know what to tell you.
- steveklabnik 9y agoMozilla does not and cannot dictate what happens with Rust, given that we operate by consensus and Mozilla does not hold a majority position in governance. This is on purpose!
