Soller: Real hardware breakthroughs, and focusing on rustc

I think you're missing the minimum deps thing. With that resolution (which avoid ratcheting to newer-and-newer deps for everyone), you get the *oldest* that is compatible. Distros can just not provide the old version and the lowest compatible version would be sufficient. But for the sake of everyone else, sending a patch upstream that says "use a newer version of your dep which solves $some_problem" would be great.

I'm arguing that Debian shouldn't make its own house fine and not let upstream know that there's an issue with one of their deps.
