the loss of another slackware based host provider to debian 'cause
current libs/progs fail builds, previously that could be tolerated so the
near 6 years between 14.2 and 15.0 was an annoyance but survivable, too
many brain washed fools falling for the "its cool" /cough/ move to
jumping on the rust bandwagon without understanding its limitations and non/short backwards compatibility has ensured it wont be 6 years waiting
this time, crikey cant even build clamav now days and last version of it
that was supported without the rust virus is now formally EOL too, so
said provider has already had to move several machines to debian for
critical ops, and a decision to move everything else there mid this year
is ticking away, business must win out over loyalty

From the ChangeLog of Slackware 15.0:

+--------------------------+
Thu Apr 3 22:37:49 UTC 2025 extra/rust-for-mozilla/rust-1.86.0-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. +--------------------------+

I suppose that package is there only for being able to build newer
software packages depending on newer versions of rust?

If something doesn't work, you cannot make money with that and the
users will go away. I run current on one of my slackware machines, as I
need current software and not ancient.
