    initial v1  
    11As you say current versions of librsvg contain increasing amounts of rust code and there's not much chance the upstream developers are going to give it up.  There are significant enhancements in the last few versions and so if we want to keep librsvg up-to-date with other GNOME ports then we need to learn to love rust and cargo.  There appears momentum for other GNOME ports to use rust the future so ignoring rust is probably not a good strategy.

    3 On the otherhand, rust is currently not building on 10.10 and earlier so I might be persuaded to add an outdated subport for that reason on those platforms.  I'm tempted to close this as "wont fix" but will wait to see what happens with the rust build issue further before doing so.
     3Note that rust is currently not building on 10.10 and earlier so I librsvg already falls back to 2.40.20 on those platforms. However, I'm not really in favor of doing that where rust does build.

     5I'm going to close this as won't fix but there nothing to stop you checking out a copy  of the old 2.40.20 version from git and building it yourself if you really can't stomach rust and its dependencies.
