It looks like JeanHeyd is unwittingly used as a weapon in a conflict internal to the Rust leadership. It look to me as an escalation of the conflict :
- First, a power move to invite someone outside of the community that have a strong point of view on a technical subject. As any organisation, you have to make move to make your agenda move forward.
- Second, an escalation with the uninvite. Not polite, but asserts the power you have within the organisation.
- Third, a resignation with a strong post that is another level of conflict.
What will happen next ?
