That document isn't about arguing one way or the other, it lists all the different options and pros/cons. The post thread is the current stance of the lang team and letting everyone know they're going to make the final decision later this month. Boats' keynote at rust-latam goes into some more detail as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skos4B5x7qE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skos4B5x7qE I'm just a casual observer here, but it seems like just about every argument and position on the subject has been iterated across Github, internals.rust-lang.org, the IRC/Discourse/Zulip chats, Reddit, and now HN. This post by boats is just the next stepping stone alerting the community to the direction the team is leading and that it's going to be over soon.
