They hadn't implemented the `-r` flag of `date`... But worse than that, they didn't squeek on the unimplemented flag (because the interface was already accepting it...). This is an incompetent implementer (and project management?)

Some actual links would be nice. I have not seen a Rust zealot in HN for like at least 3 years at this point. (On Reddit I've seen plenty, but who takes Reddit seriously?)
