I'm sorry if you took my comment as vitriol, it's not meant to be that, it was a light-hearted joke. The proposal was very disappointing to me, and it has been on top of my mind when I browsed HN this morning, so when I saw a cool project that -- if some of the sections of the proposal go through -- would violate Rust's Trademark Policy, I thought it'd be acceptable to bring that up (and still think that). I believe raising awareness to issues with the proposal is productive, and hopefully at least some people here on HN decided to leave feedback in the Rust Foundation's form, so that as little of the non-sensical paragraphs stay in the final document as possible.
