  1. It's right in the name and the logo, they put right in your face. Rust. That's iron oxide, produced by the oxidation of iron. They're rusting away the existing support structure. The logo is a crab. That's the sign of cancer. Rust spreads like a cancer. Crabs, ie crustaceans, arachnids, and so on, don't use iron for oxygen transport. They're blue blooded, ie they use a copper compound, hemocyanin, not hemoglobin. You can also count the number of teeth they put on the R gear, and the five holes surrounding. R either refers to 18 or 9, so look at the 18th or 9th pentagonal number. Contrast it to the number of teeth on the gear, which is 32 to my recollection. It's all right there. A copper based blue blooded creature, the sign of cancer, is rusting away the existing infrastructure and replacing it.

  2.  @etherweb6796  Yeah, they did. All of that, + the aggressive cult-like and quasi-militant approach to engulfing other projects, with the odd corporate backing, all told me something was up. It's unfolding a lot more clearly now. The other thng is the "Crate" concept and the build / package management tool "cargo". A reference to a cargo cult. Lot of little things that may at first appear tongue in cheek, ironic, or self deprecating. Even humorous, a parody. When that's the kind of doublethink environment they're going for, and they actually mean what they say.

  3. Well they started by shoving their CoC into everything with a pulse. Why not the kernel too. Hypersexual diffusion and sublimation strikes again.
