The FSF appears to consider Rust completely fine, given that it's
(as far as I know) a hard dependency of icecat ;)
It's also likely to be required to build Linux in the future, as far as
I can tell linux-libre does not strip Rust portions of the kernel right
now.
In short Hyperbola is very much in a minority position and I suspect the
developer was mostly just looking for excuses to mess with a different
project.
