Re: [PATCH RFC 0/3] Introduce Rust and announce that it will become mandatorty

This will be a disaster, please consider not making rust mandatory. It will break git for all systems without rust, in effect killing not only possibility to use GitHub and other git-based services, but also breaking build systems, since many ports – and package managers – rely on git to fetch sources. As for local version control, git could be replaced with some alternative (likely inferior, but at least that is not the end). There is no replacement, AFAIK, for build systems and for git-based online services.

P. S. In case anyone wonders, this is personally relevant for me: I won’t be able to continue contributing to open-source anymore (at least certainly not like in past years) with git being unusable due to broken rust.
