Fork. That's the answer. It's not friendly or nice or kind or whatever, but that's the answer. Rust and its ecosystem of people and their work are not magical; there are and will be difficult people and yes, sometimes the correct answer is to shun them by forking the work and leaving the problem children behind. It is impossible to avoid this when building a complete language paradigm involving so many people.
Nikokay isn't the problem. His indifference to soundness concerns is inevitable; Rust pragmatically doesn't preclude reckless programming and that's a good thing except that some people will, in fact, be reckless. The actual problem is the naive expectation that Nikokay's indifference and recklessness can somehow be fixed by the 'community.' It clearly can't. The 'community' needs to sack up and fork stuff until it's happy with the work.
