If perfect isn't needed, we might as well stick with the 20+ years old mature codebase, there's no need to move to another language.

Use Rust for evergreen projects by all means, just leave mature tested systems alone, please.

OK? So, is your position that Debian is only for software that's old enough to vote?

Or maybe Debian should never rely on any software written after 2015?

I don't follow how from "better but not perfect is better than worse" you conclude that.
