This seems like a common sentiment, but is demonstrably false. The Rust Project is not an entity at all; and owing to the Rust Foundation's extremely restrictive trademark policy, the Rust Project's use of the name, "Rust Project," necessarily means they are blessed by the Rust Foundation as "officially part of the Rust community."

> The Rust Foundation (responsible for trademark drama) and the Rust Project (at fault for conference drama) are separate entities.

They both appear to share the same tone-deafness, though.
