To be clear, the "you" and "my" in your sentence refer to the same person. Julian appears to be the APT maintainer, so there's no compulsion except what he applies to himself.

(Maybe you mean this in some general sense, but the actual situation at hand doesn't remotely resemble a hostile unaffiliated demand against a project.)

To who is this addressed?

> If you maintain a port without a working Rust toolchain, please ensure it has one within the next 6 months, or sunset the port.

Because that sure reads as a compulsion to me.
