Can you elaborate a bit more on the "paint ourself in a corner"? From my side, I can contribute these datapoints: * there are no rdeps on purpose, as we decided to postpone policy + dh-cargo + libs/apps after stretch release * rustc and cargo are now tied in self-bootstrapping and crossed-bootstrapping loops, so having at least some (albeit old) versions of both in a release may help * those packages are mostly intended as stepstones to a full ecosystems of libs/apps and to make backports slightly easier, users are basically expected to use rustup anyway (as the language is still evolving) * firefox security updates story is more complex than I currently grok, but it may involve shipping a fresh cargo+rustc+llvm toolchain either ways Ciao, Luca -- "If you build a wall, think of what you leave outside it" - Italo Calvino
