> Also, the Rust Foundation just looks to me like a corporate mouthpiece, not unlike the Linux Foundation, which will do little to nothing to make Rust better for anyone. 10 directors and 1 developer, what a recipe for success! The Rust foundation isn't supposed to have any control over the project, rather it is meant to serve as a liason between companies that want to fund Rust development and operational costs and the developers that work on it full time. It also serves as a holding ground for various trademarks that used to be owned by Mozilla. You are also wrong on your numbers, only 5 of the directors are from companies, the rest are members of already existing Rust leadership.
