I think it's too early to say. So far Python devs have not admitted any relevance between Python supported architectures and Rust supported architectures. It is still possible that they would wish to block minor architectures even if Rust were ported there. On the other hand, what we need right now is a major effort towards making Rust installable on the Gentoo architectures that are supported by Rust upstream. Maybe our Rust developers would use some funding to be able to dedicate more time into it. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
