Well. In this case it's almost a labeling thing. You could make an exception for this (maintained) release candidate if in your judgement incomplete documentation (basically rust doc stubs for a significant percentage of the libraries) was (not) a blocker. In some places we were told to never use libraries that weren't 1.0 - obviously that would be bonkers in the rust world. In these things you really have to use your own judgement... I don't feel like their decision to make documentation a release blocker shows disrespect for the users. They were repeatedly clear that it was safe to use and feature complete. They did note the shift from a single man project to a foundation governance took longer than expected and was part of the release as well, but, you know, non-code stuff like that also takes longer.
