Hmm, so why does
https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/rust-packaging exist?
It exists as a buildroot only set of packages for Red Hat's own Rust software.

I do think they changed a bit in the last couple releases (I'm not following it that
much these days)… But at some point I'm hoping to make even more changes there and
I'd like to avoid adding rust bits into the epel-rpm-macros (or others).
We can certainly get those updated over time by sending merge requests
to update them.
