Hi,

sorry to see you leave. Thanks for all your contributions and the time
shared with the project.

I have a question, were you working on some rust problems (circular
dependencies, etc) already and if so could you share the progress and
discussions with upstream which might've happened already at some
accessible place? That would be nice.
