As someone picking between C and Rust for a new codebase, this is going on my list of "cons" for Rust. I'm supposed to build a product above all else. Will the drama get in the way of Rust surviving down the road?
People keep saying it has nothing to do with the language, but it pretty much has a lot of things to do with its development and its ecosystem. There are forks already out there because of the Rust committee.
