Well, he called Rust authoritarian and C anarchy. As with all analogies if I don't stretch too far it does make lot of sense to me.

Sure! I'm just disagreeing that "C is anarchy because anyone at any point can do anything". You can't do anything, Linus will eventually yell at you in an email. To me, the only philosophical difference is that Rust wants to automate Linus

That would also explain why Linus is on board with it, A thousand rust compiler instances is way more efficient than one Linus instance yelling at people, plus eventually he won't be there anymore.
