I'll admit that I've not fully understood the attraction of
"rustup" (which we probably don't support at the moment for "our
own" targets, which basically means != amd64). Why is it that
every language grows a package manager replacement of their own?
How isn't this just a pointy finger in the eye of anyone
operating using packages from pkgsrc, with audit-packages and all
that goes along with e.g. "pkgin fug"? Doesn't this just make
the given version available for the current user? And isn't this
just a path to a situation similar to
