So, this is a servo mailing list, so I guess the main issue here is what
Servo should do, rather than Rust cryptography in general. I think it would
be helpful to think about what the Servo team is doing to make people more
confident in Servo than they are in Gecko, Blink, and WebKit. I doubt the
situation is different for browser engines than it is for crypto libraries.

As far as non-Servo concerns regarding crypto libraries in Rust are
concerned, it's probably better to discuss them in a broader forum than
this Servo-specific one.

Cheers,
Brian
