That also means, they are already outdated and do not support our latest greatest consistent packaging across Fedora versions… Right now, I suppose it is still possible to get that stuff updated in the Stream9, but later on it will be harder and harder I suppose.

The macros and tools that power the rust packaging stuff (aside from
rust-srpm-macros) are not shipped in CentOS/RHEL 9, so we can ship it
in EPEL 9 if we want.

Hmm, so why does https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/rust-packaging exist?
 

rust-srpm-macros has macros that haven't changed much in years, so I
don't think that'll be an issue.

I do think they changed a bit in the last couple releases (I'm not following it that much these days)… But at some point I'm hoping to make even more changes there and I'd like to avoid adding rust bits into the epel-rpm-macros (or others).
