I think it's too early to say.  So far Python devs have not admitted any
relevance between Python supported architectures and Rust supported
architectures.  It is still possible that they would wish to block minor
architectures even if Rust were ported there.

On the other hand, what we need right now is a major effort towards
making Rust installable on the Gentoo architectures that are supported
by Rust upstream.  Maybe our Rust developers would use some funding to
be able to dedicate more time into it.
