This is true, but rust is very heavy, and it seems to be updated quiet
frequently.

Just an idea: maybe it could be possible to repocopy lang/rust to e.g.
lang/rust-devel (we already have rust-nightly), lang/rust being a stable
release, used to compile the depending ports, and rust-devel being used
by rust developers and updated more frequently.

I do not know if these ports would be installed at the same place, with
CONFLICTS_INSTALL, or if would be better to install the -devel port
with some suffix… [rust@FreeBSD.org added to Cc:]
