This is the link where the tiers are set:

I'd say if you can't convince rust upstream to move things up from the
third tier, the only reasonable way out is that you do your own
private testing after the fact (e.g. after oe-core master gets rust
updates which may regress on mips). It's standard practice in
distributions, e.g. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures

MIPS is dying out in general, you can't fault the community for not
having any interest in it. When we volunteer, we want to do it for
things that have a future.
