Control: tags -1 wontfix

Hi Arnaud,

It is my understanding that the feature "real_blackbox" is only possible
to build with a bleeding-edge "nightly" rustc compiler.  In other words
that feature is inherently unstable.

Debian do not provide a "nightly" rustc compiler, and even if it did
then as I understand it the resulting code would be unsuitable outside
of Debian experimental (or, arguably, Debian unstable).
Therefore I have flagged this request of yours as a "wontfix".

Please note, however, that I might be wrong in my assumptions.  If you
can convince me (e.g. through succesful compilation and testing) that in
fact the "real_blackbox" can be enabled using rustc in Debian, then I am
happy to revisit this issue.

Otherwise the way forward as I see it is to try convince upstream of
async-oneshot and/or gnome-posdcasts to steer clear of such unstable
library features.


Kind regards,

 - Jonas
