Generally yes, because we should follow upstream as close as possible when there is such a fast pace from upstream. I am sure there are plenty of bug fixes and security fixes included in this release.

However, with the massive amount of work it takes, I believe that we do not need to jump to every single release. We have other things to take care of after all.

So, if it is an easy jump, feel free to send patches. :)

Thank you for all your effort. I know how much pain packaging Rust is.

All the best,
-Michael
