You thought I was angry? What would you call Linus Torvalds when someone broke user space?[1]
You confused blunt responses to repetitive, condescending, specious, or false statements and anger at Canonical seemingly.
I made no objection to any software existing.
I like Rust. It was unfortunate this experiment supported stereotypes of Rust fanatics promoting Rust without respect for stability.
I reject the view users should have to wait 2 years for bug fixes and features, accept silently all experiments, or switch silently to a distribution with less 3rd party support and other issues inevitably.
The opt out process I saw required --allow-remove-essential. It would be irresponsible to recommend this.
A more responsible way to conduct this experiment would have been opt in 1st. Then phased. Then opt out for everyone. And waiting until all tests passed would have been better of course.
