 The list can be enhanced for sure and clear to say that Rust is not only some sideload toolchain. As the buzzword "memory safety" is being in usage more and more projects get on this. Yes, the rewrite of GNU coreutils is not the main project. But who says exactly that this won't be the near future? As all the other points in this article were long before described, not solved and just accepted. It is a bad and foul compromise, endangering freedom of choice, user freedom for sure and also the freedom for system-distributions and operating-systems like Hyperbola. The list can be enhanced for sure and clear to say that Rust is not only some sideload toolchain.

 Yes, Hyperbola as project was and is accused of spreading so-called "FUD" (//Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt//). A propaganda-strategy to bring up an appointed target into discredit. So we clear up with this point here also: Sure we mention doubts and problems, but we just do this in the context of our project and why we exclude **Rust**. We said several times here in the article that others can always handle different. It is sidewise mentioned interesting how often Hyperbola is accused while just listing the issues we see. When others do not see the outgrowing complexity as an issue, please be invited doing so. We have a different approach and list just the reasoning for us doing this. But accusing Hyperbola to spread propaganda is a quite different thing and in itself not outright correct. If you read through our wiki-articles and also include the generic perspectives Hyperbola is following, we never talk about some "evil masterplans" or "nefarious motivations" when talking about companies and corporations. When you use those assumptions, then those are born within your own thoughts and you just relate them to us. We just talk about arrogance and ignorance as companies and corporations are following always only those motivations. Ask yourself what kind of motivation any company might have to be a sponsor of a project. For sure not the orientation on the community-aspects or to bring people something better just without not getting anything from it. We have and will always mention the altruism being part of the free and libre culture, including the right to distribute derivative works without asking for permission, without doing even more work to even rework a whole copy of a project. If you see all of this different under the circumstances of copyrights and trademarks, is this surely your own perspective but not fitting the point of free and libre culture being kept working, dear readers  (//read [[https://web.archive.org/web/20250418101115/https://freedomdefined.org/Definition|here more about free culture]]//). Yes, Hyperbola as project was and is accused of spreading so-called "FUD" (//Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt//).

 +In the end: If people think it is worthwhile to use "argumentum ad hominem"-argumentation to accuse Hyperbola as project for example to spread FUD (as noted here), we cannot do anything about except to point out that this does not compare to our motivation and the reality of our arguments. We like to work together, even when there are different perspectives and we also invite everybody to discuss with us so we can learn from each other. So it is up to the people themselves deciding, you may go on for sure accusing us or we can learn from each other.
