M1 — Timeline table sits inside the last History subsection body instead of after all History subsections. It summarises the full history and should appear as a post-subsection block (or thin ### Timeline heading) between History and Design.
M2 — Section order: Adoption → Governance → Memory safety policy. The memory safety section is thematically paired with Adoption (external impact of the language), while Governance covers internal organisation. Preferred order: Adoption → Memory safety policy → Governance.
L1 — "Relation to memory safety policy" heading is wordy. Suggest: "Memory safety and policy" or "Memory safety policy context".
L2 — "Governance disputes" subsection covers two distinct incidents (2021 moderation-team resignation + 2023 trademark controversy) without a transitional sentence between them. A brief bridge improves readability; no heading split required.
Full rationale:
M1 detail: The timeline table ends the "Mozilla layoffs and the Rust Foundation (2020–present)" subsection. Visually it reads as a summary of only that sub-period. Moving it outside all subsections (before the next H2) signals clearly that it covers 2006–2024.
M2 detail: Encyclopedic convention places what a subject does in the world before how it is internally governed. Both Adoption and Memory safety policy describe Rust's real-world reach and policy significance. Governance describes the project's own organisational structure. Reordering puts like-content together and matches reader expectations: understand the language → understand its external impact → understand how it is run.
L1 detail: "Relation to X" is a relational phrase uncommon in heading positions in this style; noun-phrase headings are preferred per meta/style.
L2 detail: The two incidents in "Governance disputes" are structurally different (accountability crisis vs. IP/open-source norms dispute). A one-sentence transition (e.g., 'A separate controversy arose over intellectual property…') would orient readers without adding a new heading.
