The problem is that there is only one lang/rust. There are no "versioned" port versions, like lang/phpXY, lang/pythonXYZ, etc. There is a lang/rust-nightly port, but I don't think it is meant for general consumption. That said, I don't know if it is technically possible to have more than one rust port. I would guess the whole crate system depends on which rust version built it? If so, you would also have to "flavorize" all the rust crates and their sub-ports. It sounds like quite a lot of work, while in the mean time the rust releases keep on coming fast. :) -Dimitry
