What I meant is that while he@ does a ton of work (for which I am
grateful), we should not have magic people who can do things that others
can't.  Whatever it takes to build things that pkgsrc needs -- even if
that that starts with upstream binaries at the moment -- should be
doable from bits that are checked in, by anyone.  Just like anyone can
run build.sh and set up pkgsrc bulk builds.

So separately from how the world ought to be (that rust upstream
inexplicably doesn't value), I mean that anyone checking out pkgsrc
should be able to do anything he@ can do, so "he@ carries patches that
aren't committed" isn't a reasonable approach.
