There has been a great deal of positive response to an art/design
team, which certainly suggests that the idea of a design team needs to
be examined thoroughly. To this end, I would like to suggest that Rust
shouldn’t have an art/design team. In general the Rust community does
not specialize in design but, on the other hand, I believe the Rust
community as a whole is quite capable of deciding on an excellent
design, given a good set of proposals to compare.
Also, what happens after a design has been agreed to? Its not really an endless process. Will the value
of the design team diminish? Is the design team disbanded then?
Disbanding teams is so much harder than creating them. Isn’t it better
then, to open up some kind of design competition, and have a winner decided
through the usual Rust community decision making process?
