Rubbish, and the level of traffic in perl, C, php related or semi-related 
groups, relevant traffic anyway, for the past year would take all of 10 
minutes to read.

(rust or the devs of certain open source projects relying on it) are 
incapable of backward version compatibity for more than 1 or 2 rust 
releases - /me looks at talos (again it just might be Michah and crew and 
not rust  in general, but rust is where the builds fail)

That said I would support the creation of such a group.

We then have an uncensored way we can all directly vent at the right 
people, as typical forums go, they want to be seen as a happy happy joy 
joy, an all roses place removing serious negativity, I've seen on IRC 
people complaining at the short compat times saying they got deleted and 
banned (no wasn't me for once haha I took my issue up with Talso directly 
in email as clamav was the only software that is affected for me - the 
rust version was 9 months old and caused build failures as they wanted 
rust version that was released 3 months earlier, so again, probably Talos 
coding choices)...
