> I wonder how in retrospect they will think about the decisions they made today.

The decision was not made today, what happens today (or, rather, a few days ago) is Linus calling out a C maintainer going out of his way to screw rust devs. Rust devs have also been called out for shitty behaviour in the process.

The decision to run a Rust experiment is a thing that can be (and is) criticized, but if you allow people to willfully sabotage the process in order to sink the experiment, you will also lose plenty of developers.
