That's why waiting is also an option. Feel free to excuse it however, but removing i18n here was a pretty big mistake on the rust team's part. For what? Rust 2018? I didn't contribute to the website, but I also didn't force anyone to change it either.

> There are a lot of people willing to get extremely mad about the website online

I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. It's rare to see actual i18n for open source projects, and it's absurd to see it get removed arbitrarily when it does exist. I believe the Rust team is capable of delivering much better quality updates, hence my writing here. I'm also sick and tired of i18n being considered an afterthought by people who do have the resources to accomplish it to at least a basic degree.

Also, just because something is open source doesn't mean "well why don't you just go do it then" is a valid argument. It isn't.

Regardless of you, it's true in general. There has been a lot of heat, and it's damaged the ability to actually improve the site.

It's not an argument. It's a description of reality.
