For the lazy, I liked these parts:

Rust isn't a "silver bullet" that will solve all of our problems, but it sure will help in a huge number of places, so for new stuff going forward, why wouldn't we want that?

Yes, I understand our overworked maintainer problem (being one of these people myself), but here we have people actually doing the work!

The whole thing is great.
