Yerkebulan TulibergenovI am happy to finally see Linus provide public rebuke [1] to gatekeeping attempts in Linux against Rust4Linux folks. From what I understand that follows an attempt to resolve this conflict privately as evidenced by the description in Miguel’s message [2] in the same thread.

@AsahiLinux It's sad to hear, but I'll accept that decision.
- Please sent him my regards, cuz he's being missed already in the Fediverse (maybe he rejoins on a more private account, IDK...)
Let him, know he's based af and that the way @linuxfoundation handled the "Anti-#Rust - Gang" is just inexcuseable and that I wish for @torvalds et. al. to not just take notes but actual #consequences given that the reasons that made @marcan@treehouse.systems quit are systemic!
BTW: here's his personal blogpost for everyone else who also cares...
Krutonium://If, for some reason, people are taking sides, I side with #Marcan - He did nothing wrong, and I think Linus failed, and continues to fail to notice, a serious issue.
@bamboombibbitybop for real?
Cuz If I look up his account it says "Account banned by moderator!" ...
Seriously, that makes two folks that I do care who went dark / got yeeted...

Open source contribution: I added Archive of Rust Stable Standalone Installers page on Rust project's forge website. There you can now see all historical stable Rust versions starting from 1.0. This was initially requested by Rust for Linux project.
Big thank you to @kobzol for quick PR reviews!

If you want to understand the origin of the #Rust4Linux "drama" from a larger point of view, look into the "Law of diffusion of innovation":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_of_innovations
Simon Sinek sums it up beautifully in this talk (~5:50 Min long):
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=u4YDmih1u0g
(or YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4YDmih1u0g)
Don't talk to the majority. Talk to the innovators and early adopters! The majority will follow eventually.
