>> It seems like the problem here is not even power of one group, but an individual doing an end run around the group.
If so where is the transparency and accountability?
Who was the individual? Why did they do what they did?
If they do not represent project leadership, what will be done to fix this situation and prevent similar problems in the future?
If they do represent project leadership, why weren't the changes and the reasons for the changes communicated better?
A group of people mysteriously calling the shots in a closed room ultimately alienates the community and will stifle the long-term success of Rust.
