> But my point, is that his crates (and thus he) hold too much power, even if there had been 0 incidents. That's not his failure per-se, but it's rusts failure if a single person can hold this much power, and be involved with this many shit-storms, without someone stepping up and being like "maybe we should put the decisions for this essential infrasructure on more shoulders". Even if he was the rust messiah himself, I wouldn't be comfortable with a Bus factor of one, for something that "is often credited as a reason people reach for Rust." Man supports thanklessly a set of libraries that evolve on basically every minor rust version (syn/quote) for 6 years with minor hickups, and you want to Bus him? Over holding a seat at libs table? That's not a BDFL, that's seat at the round table. Hic Rhodus, hic salta! You try doing the same.
