A Sad Day for Rust

I honestly dont understand people being mad at this. Every dependancy I use I don't like 100% I fork and modify and then upstream changes, and if they never get merged, who cares?

If there was a big user community that wanted different things, fork and have a seperate maintainer structure. Why drama?

Then you might end up with a bunch of different forks each with different fixes applied.

A huge number of npm dependancies I use are basically unmaintained, have tons of forks and multiple PRs with the same fixes. I choose the one I like and move on, the magic of github!

Wouldn't it be better if there was one repo that had all of the fixes?
