"This work is crucial to ensure the long-term health of constantly evolving codebases. And it also has a strong second-order effect. By unblocking other Rust contributors, new features and improvements can be landed quicker and more frequently, which in turns unblocks and improves the lives of #Rust users, which results in a positive feedback cycle. This is a multiplicative effect that strongly benefits everyone!"
