If this is true, it's really sad. Dtolnay has undeniably done invaluable work for the Rust community and should have kudos for that, but these kinds of decisions are very worrying from a person in that position. Since such a position comes with a certain amount of power/clout.

I wish he would just communicate to the community more instead of the radio silence. And in the end I really hope we get reflection in Rust one day.
