You’re right - add insufficient leadership to the list as well.

IMO, it seems inconsistent to green light R4L and not declare a clear policy for Rust code interacting with C code without adding a hard dependency (and if it WAS declared, not enforcing it).

The only benefit of doubt I can give is that there wasn’t enough time for Linus etc to weigh in before the thread got sidetracked (and the decision became much more politically charged). It’s unclear what would have happened if only the maintainer was unreasonable.
