C technically has consensus on what is and what isn't undefined behavior. You don't have sufficient tooling around that though, which means that while that consensus exists, it's hard to take advantage of it. Additionally you don't have consensus at all on what should and shouldn't be undefined behavior.

In practice that consenus has little to no meaningful impact.

In Rust on the other hand you have people that deeply care about problems like this, demonstrated not just by what they say but what they do. I think you can therefore have a lot of confidence in them not just reaching consenus on this issue but creating meaningful solutions based on that consensus.
