If the concerns are another rehash of "hobbyists processors that haven't been manufactured in decades should be privileged over 99.99% of users data integrity and security" then yes, I don't give a shit. Just like I wasn't persuaded by the argument that systemd should be kept out of Debian for the literal no-maintainer alternative kernel Debian ports.

If the problem is "bad-faith actors concern trolling" then I don't really give a shit about that, either.

you give enough of a shit to comment, it seems. But not enough of a shit to actually reply to concerns like "static linking is bad for security" and "rustc is very hard to bootstrap".

If you are done informing us about your bowel movements, you might want to comment about rust in the future.

Stop here

I will remind you both (again!) that this is not a playground. Surely, if we work hard enough at it, we can manage to have an adult conversation? Until then, please stop with this stuff.

Thank you.
