Comment (by 07151129):
Surely we can "love rust and cargo" without arbitrarily forcing users to
install it? Many programs that have absolutely nothing to do with GNOME
(such as ffmpeg) now have this heavyweight dependency, even if otherwise
they don't need rust at all. Building and installing the old version
myself defeats the purpose of using the remote ports tree. After all, for
some ports there are variants for older versions (e.g. ld64); I don't see
why having an older version fallback would force you to ignore rust.
