I thought this was a very good and informative post for those of us who saw the basic problem (keynote cancellation handled badly due to miscommunication and/or organizational management problems, so... unfortunate, but happens all the time), and then wondered, why are all these Rust people FREAKING OUT over this? It does a good job of explaining the back story. As a normal Rust user, and not an insider, I still can't help but look at the event itself and think, Well, that keynote snafu was unfortunate, I guess... so anyway what should I have for lunch? But with this background, I can understand how if I was an insider, I might have a way stronger reaction because of the secrecy and organizational problems and the stream of similar unforced errors that preceded this latest one. And in fact, as a user who's only recently started to actually use Rust at work, I am kind of reassured to see all these people freaking out and resigning their posts in outrage (or just from a desire to not be part of a dysfunctional/non-transparent org structure). Because it seems like the overall organization(s) that comprise what we think of as "Rust" do badly need a dramatic overhaul, so some drama is probably required to achieve that.
