Aaron Turon discusses the challenges of Rust's rapid growth across stakeholders, governance, and product, proposing ideas for future sustainability.

On the eve of Rust 2018, we have so much to celebrate! From the core language to tools to community outreach to adoption, the Rust project has made enormous strides. But with success comes new challenges. Looking ahead to the next Edition of Rust, this keynote will lay out some of these challenges along three dimensions: Stakeholders, Governance, and Product. I'll pitch some personal ideas for how to grapple with these challenges, taking a frank look at what's working well and what needs to change, and inviting community-wide discussion as we go into our planning for next year. rome.rustfest.eu/sessions/keynote media.ccc.de/v/rustfest-rome-1-keynote

On “Sean Griffin is stepping away from Rails to focus on crates.io and Rust full time, looking for support”

Aaron has specifically called out what you're suggesting as a difficult (if not outright bad) idea. Maybe if it's community-maintined there wouldn't be such complaints but I'm hesitant. link to this video
