What a wild butterfly effect: Ruby Central invites DHH to RailsConf and now:

* Almost out of money
* Bad feelings/animosity with at least some of the major Ruby open source contributors
* ED fired
* board almost totally turned over
* primary function (rubygems.org maintenance) now being hopefully outsourced to volunteers
* some AI bullshit

All RC had to do was simply NOT platform him. No big statement, no virtue signaling, nothing. All they had to do was have RailsConf.
