Out of curiosity, how many people are working on Rust as permanent employees or otherwise paid by Mozilla? I thought Rust is mainly developed by individual contributors but "load has shifted to the teams responsible for the code" and "reorgs" sure sounds like there's some kind of hierarchical leverage and long-term planning in place.

Mozilla employs something like .... five? people to work on Rust these days. We usually have a few hundred contribute to any given release https://thanks.rust-lang.org/

I left Mozilla over a year ago, this change isn't really super relevant to it other than I was a full time docs person and now there are no full time docs people. One person isn't a team, though, and the team had these issues even when I was employed.
