Last year Yiyang worked on an experimental Rust EROFS codebase and
ran into some policy issue (c+rust integration), although Rust
adaption is not the top priority stuff in our entire TODO list but
we'd like to see it could finally get into shape and landed as an
alternative part to replace some C code (maybe finally the whole
part) if anyone really would like to try to switch to the new one.

Hopefully some progress could be made this year (by Yiyang), but
unfortunately I have no more budget to travel this year, yet
that is basically the current status anyway.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
