every stable upstream release on all active
Fedora releases
That's good to know. I was under the impression that the Rust toolchain
can't get a feature update within a stable Fedora release, happy to be
wrong on this.
And yes rustup does have value on its own for juggling multiple
toolchains, which I do very frequently - though I'm a very biased sample
as I do a lot of stuff on Rust tooling instead of application/library code.
Thanks

toolchain. In any case, tt's more convenient to the users if they can get it directly
from a package manager.
