Big win for the most annoying guys on the mailing list

I'm juts sad about how, like most of the Rust ecosystem for some reason, it's licenced in such a way, that does not keep the forks free/libre (it's using Apache 2.0)

chat am I cooked?

Nice, if it’s matured enough for a major distro default should give it a spin some time.

We already opened the rust pandoras box with things like librsvg in GNOME (which Ubuntu uses) so more Rust tooling being used is not anything new and should be promoted.
I think this move can be seen as part of Ubuntu's larger effort in innovating their desktop offering. Ubuntu's test run of sudo-rs will benefit GNU/Linux as a whole.
More rust please!

Theoretically, I love Rust. Memory safe and functional, my favorite things. But the Rust fans are so annoying that I have a complete aversion to it.
I'll take an annoying person excited about what they work on over a person who wakes up every day unsure if they'll choose the Spring Bean or the bullet today.
