Comment (by dbevans):

 As you say current versions of librsvg contain increasing amounts of rust
 code and there's not much chance the upstream developers are going to give
 it up.  There are significant enhancements in the last few versions and so
 if we want to keep librsvg up-to-date with other GNOME ports then we need
 to learn to love rust and cargo.  There appears momentum for other GNOME
 ports to use rust the future so ignoring rust is probably not a good
 strategy.

 On the otherhand, rust is currently not building on 10.10 and earlier so I
 might be persuaded to add an outdated subport for that reason on those
 platforms.  I'm tempted to close this as "wont fix" but will wait to see
 what happens with the rust build issue further before doing so.
