I agree, but naturally I think that’s the natural interpretation :)

Speculating: I think many Rust rewrite projects are criticised under “for the sake of it” when in fact there is a clear decision that Rust is just a better choice in 2019 (i.e. the decision was not political, but the criticism assumed it was). Many of those will nonetheless peter out because forks are hard. Such a result is only a partial judgement on the original decision.

Yes, I think that's true as well.
