Debian's APT package manager will have a "hard requirement" on Rust from May 2026. This move may make some rather big waves.

The real concern with replacing C tools with Rust ones is that it's an opportunity for useful idiots/scumbags to change the license to something that benefits corporations at the expense of the public.

We should be ignoring all attempts to subvert copyleft, but I know that's too high of a bar for most of you to reach.

Apple and Sony will be happy, though.
