Agreed. dev-util until it grows in size (isn't the recommendation 5-10+ pkgs?), then dev-rust. Despite the package moves being somewhat cumbersome, it makes more sense to do it once it's clear Rust has an ecosystem going rather than catch stragglers in its infancy. For platform-specific things like compilers, dev-lang/ may be a better candidate.
