'Core team' as a concept naturally leads to elitism.
Does it? I am not familiar with the Rust language development but I read it as "team that takes care of the core (of the language)".

This sounds to be more of an "executive team", but I am also unfamiliar with Rust development, so I don't know how accurate that is in practice.
As someone who's used Rust but isn't fully familiar with the community, what would the expected roles of these moderators have been? Is it just forum moderation or are there other components?

With the earlier bit about the Core Team not having to adhere to the Code of Conduct, it could mean something awful has happened and a Rust Core Member is above justice or pressuring the mod team’s investigation?
Isn't that a kind of scorched earth statement? I read it as "we will be discreet and don't believe anything anybody tells you in the future...instead assume all your worst fears are true".
This statement is inscrutably generic. Are there examples of behavior which went unaccounted? Or, what prompted this? Also, is it common for projects to have mod teams? This is new to me.

Is this a dirty trick by the amazon folks to harm the core team?
