Why you should, actually, rewrite some of it in Rust

Totally! That's far different than "no major package manager accepting or even ready to accept programs written in Rust yet", though.

Oh, I thought of something better than just the compiler: https://github.com/burntsushi/ripgrep#installation

* homebrew

* chocolatey

* arch

* gentoo

* fedora

* RHEL/CentOS

* Nix

All have at least one Rust program packaged :)

For RHEL/Centos/Fedora (the only ones there I would call "major") you have to enable a separate repo, which isn't really the same as being in the official repos.

Also openSUSE and SLES. Yes, we're still around and doing interesting stuff.
