The problems the Rust module system has and the changes being made to it are purely syntactic. Rust has already solved, and isn't changing its solution to, the kinds of problems Java is solving with Jigsaw.

FWIW, I don't agree with the "design by committee" assessment on the new system, either. There was certainly a lot of committee-flavored input, but it was only used for brainstorming and gathering requirements. The actual RFC, especially at this point, is pretty coherent and put together by only one or two people.
