#2122 Exception request: Allow apps written in Rust in modules to be set as default

Closed: Accepted 4 years ago by churchyard. Opened 5 years ago by ignatenkobrain.

Long story short:

All Rust packages in F28 and F29 are outdated and some are FTBFS
In #2068 all Rust packages were opted out from branching (which means that F30 does not contain any single Rust crate and apps written in Rust)
In #2114 FESCo agreed to not allow setting defaults for modules without FESCo exception
We (Rust SIG) do still plan to add more Rust apps into Fedora (most of work done by me and @eclipseo)

I would like to ask FESCo to grant us exception to set those modules as default: it is new content which does not and will not affect any other parts of Fedora and asking each time for new exceptions sounds just wasting of time. I don't know exactly how many apps we will add, but probably we are talking about more than 5 of them.

I asked @ignatenkobrain to request a blanket exception because these specific packages are all guaranteed to be new content and therefore safe to make default.

+1 from me.
