This is huge; the key take-away: "[..] I'm taking the following steps as well:
- I've decided to leave "leadership chat". This also means I have decided to not participate in making any top-level governance decisions, whether ad-hoc or with any new processes in place.
- I'm declining the nomination to serve on the new Leadership Council.
- I will not be speaking at RustConf. (RustConf already decided and announced this.)
- I have decided not to lead the RustConf unconference I had been one of the planned staff members for.
- I've decided to step down from the co-leadership of the language team."
This is very respectable, and it seems like the internal dissent is just real enough for two brilliant engineers to resign over it. If anything, this is a good sign for the community; the corruption that we hear about— allows us to better understand corruption, if any, that we don't hear about, regardless of scale. Huge respect to those who spoke out, the whole ordeal is an unfortunate mess & hopefully it won't affect poorly on them (of all people) over this. All communities have fringes, & sometimes people can go a bit too far!
