Just a heads up that on mesa-updates the ungrafting of libx11 (at least)
caused a near world rebuild including rust land. I believe the link is
python being rebuilt.

So, we may want to coordinate before merging to master to make sure
substitutes are available, especially considering the long rust compile
chain.

I just sent a message to guix-devel on the latest status, where I think
that branch is ready to merge. But maybe we should merge either
rust-team or mesa-updates into the other? Or just merge one to master
and then master into the other branch with time to build?

Thanks!
John
