Note: cargo is part of Rust. This dependency was only supposed to be added
as of git 3.0. If I may be polite and ask that this dependency be removed for
v2.55.0-rc1.

While my team is trying to do the Rust port for NonStop, it is not a quick
effort, and we expect no earlier than 2027 - given that the team is made up
entirely of volunteers.

Thank you,
