Core is not the "Board of Directors", who makes all the hard
decisions, and everybody else shuts up and codes in the direction
they are told to.

Core is more of a "General Secretary" function, who's job it is to
keep the meeting in order, provide paper, pencils and refreshments,
and diplomatically try to facilitate the delegates reaching some kind
of consensus, or if they cannot, to credibly count the votes.

As to Rust in src, the meeting is still ongoing, intelligent and
informed opinions and arguments are being exchanged, so core@ is
probably leaning back, enjoying the sound of a project humming
along just the way core@ likes it to...
