Exactly. Airing-out Hellwig's successful attempt to sabotage Rust efforts (and it was successful, given that at least two important maintainers have already resigned) was good, actually.
Unfortunately, it seems that Linus doesn't have the maturity to recognize that, and this cycle is likely to continue, barring something good and unforeseen happening.
so the social media publicity was required to resolve this issue?
do you realise the rust contributor quit after making everything public?
this was a technical issue that took Linus more than a week to check before making a clear decision
what you said is speculative nonsense
Certainly seems that way unfortunately.
you really think Linus would have ignored that email forever?
If the Rust guy hadn't made a fuss? Absolutely.
