  politics
That's a lot of words for "I don't like the politics of the people contributing to rust" with a side of "there must be a lot of people like me and they're all very smart". If I'm honest, that doesn't seem terribly professional or realistic.

As someone who's not a compiler guru, I've found contributing to rust (whether rustc or third party crates) to be generally frictionless and overall a pleasant process. It's great to not have to deal with the drama surrounding so many other projects (EGCS anyone?). Quite frankly I'm glad there's no need to hold your nose and put up with RMS' antics.

  eject every member of the existing team
What? Ejecting everyone who's built the tool you like because you don't like their politics is preposterous on its face and wildly unprofessional.

  Rust bootstrapping is still a problem
What?
