What about rustup? I feel it's quite important for anyone working

I think rustup is great for managing rustc versions, and I do use it
myself, but I don't think it's a good fit for system packaging. It
wants to be interposed in your PATH with shims for rustc/cargo/etc., and
it also downloads updated toolchains itself. This is not in the spirit
of RPM-managed software.
For my own use, I first run "rustup toolchain link system /usr" and then
"rustup default system", so I'm primarily using the versions that I'm
responsible for packaging. :)
