    The issues found after they switched suggests that they hadn't
    reached that level by that point. I haven't tracked development
    since then (I'm not particularly interested).
    
    I see no big issue having them in ports for users to install if
    they want, as long as there's OpenBSD developer support to get
    them into the tree, but:
    
    - they can't conflict with the GNU tools so will need a different prefix
    or install into a different directory
    
    - we can't use them in place of GNU tools for dependencies in other
    ports, rust gives too much of a restriction on archs, and having
    different deps on different archs is a pain to deal with
