I disagree entirely with the "forbidden" wording. That's it. Tier 2 is not "Forbidden" it is a statement on the level of support.
I agree with your point about political issues - the entire tier list, specifically even Rust being tier 2, was political. I saw stupid shit like that too many times at Dropbox.
But it is simply a fact that new projects are being built in Rust, regardless of the political aspects of why that is the case despite it being tier 2. "Forbidden" does not convey the state of things - everything else you've said is agreeable.
