Your phrasing is interesting: "visible drama". Which suggests it would be "better" for Rust if it covered these things up :). Obviously that would be hard to do at the moment. It's actions are fairly open and there is a very keen interest in "drama" from everyone from HN to popular YouTubers who can boost the signal.

Personally I think some amount of immediate drama is necessary to force positive change. Better than many orgs that keep this kind of thing behind closed doors (and somebody maybe writes a blog post about it years later).
