Everyone involved is a person, and we are all subject to making mistakes. The organizers probably should not have pushed this as a keynote presentation, and they eventually realized their mistake. JeanHeyd Meneide saw this as a slight, but it was clearly not intended as such.
It's probably a good thing that this post was flagged.

The different category of the talk literally changed nothing about his talk... except maybe the duration and time schedule. It's not like they called it off last second after he had already prepared everything.
ThePhD was asked to host a talk, wanted to refuse but got encouraged to proceed, then was told to downgrade talk.
That move ruins trust. Say Rust project was funding the trip? Would you agree after getting jerked around before?
I think the big problem is Rust project is operating in a WTF mode.
