+1.
I speak from ignorance on the cost/benefit ratio of rust.  So perhaps
someone can tell us: what is the size of the rust runtime library(ies)?
Do we continue to want FreeBSD to support small systems?  Should we
ponder dividing the base system into the lightweight part and the
heavier weight part?  Honestly, I am not trying to sow dissension, but
I do suggest a serious discussion.                           -- George
