rustc is already in openSUSE, so evidently, it's past the bootstrap
phase. Can't the enterprise version of SUSE promote a package from
openSUSE and have openSUSE (Tumbleweed at least) go through every rustc
release so as not to break the chain?
I'll have to check how those packages were built originally and discuss
that with security team - there are differences between openSUSE and SLE.
Thanks
